RACING PROSPECIS BRIGHT

Racing prospects for this pro- vince never looked brighter. Next week there will be upwards of no ti-otters and pacers getting daily workouts at the Charlotte- town track. There has been sim- ilar activity in Summerside where the horse population is quite as large as any previous year and with more fast class performers h training.

Here are some of them..Down- down 2.03 2-5. a 6-year-old pacer eligible to the 214 class. His total winnings are 828344.04 and he is credited with quarters in 29 sec- onda. Bis best mile to date this aaaaon In 2.1). Yuta 2.09. Every- one admires this pacing mare but for a slip on a wet track in which ahe injured one of her tendons would have taken a record of 2.07 last year. She is 0.I(. this year and has been worked easy miles. the best of them 2.29. We under- stand it is the intention of owner Andrew Perry on have trainer James McGregor harness them. toether to pole and drive them through Summersida dispensing lobsters to the people -as part of the festivities in connection with the big lobster festival to be held In that town infthe near future.

Myrtle's Boy 2.13 is a 5-year- old pacer by Wilmington 1.59V:. He was raced in hot company in the U'.S.A. last year and is elig- ible to the 2.24 class. His best workout mile was 2.29. The trot- ter Scotland's Ace 2.00 was a win- ner at Old Home Week last year and is showing up so well that it would not be surprising if he equals or better: his record. His best workout mile is 2.29. Way- mark 2.15. was formerly in Dr. Seaman's stable. Charlottetown. and we have timed him halves in 1.04. He is a very chancy trotter and was the winner of the third dash at Charlottetown last June 18th in 2.15. He has been worked In 2.25.

The trotter Christy's Liacci will make her first appearance this year in competition. She is five years old and by that good trot- for Pagliscci 2.0915 and her dam is -the famous race mare Christy Budlong 2.06314. the flistcst De)" former at that gait ever bred in this province. Mark Time and Ida's Boy. both 2-year-old pacers. work- ad miles in 3.00. The above are III owned by Councillor Andrew Perry, popular restaurateur of Bummerside and are being train- ed by James IVIacGl'E.'g0l'. who is the owner of Abe Class and Millie Clegg, pacers eligible to any class that have been worked in am.

FASTEST MILE

'Hie J.K. Curran stable. Iralntd by Gordon (Cruse) Robinson. looks awfully good this year with Ron- eat Abbe 2.06 1-6 sound. He has worked the fastest mile so far in this province this season--".19. Ann'a dream 2.00 8-5 was one of

won 6 firsts, 10 seconds and 11 thirds in fast company. Hedgewood Chief 2.06 2-5. winner of 8 firsts. 4 seconds and 5 thirds in his W starts last season.

Peter Federal 2.11 4-5 is a 4- year-old last year showed real class and 2.10 can be confidently predicted for him this season. He may properly be called one of the leaders in win: as he was intro- duced to the spectators as the win- her on 17 occasions. Gordon is also giving lessons to several other green pacers and trotterst all of them well bred and likely pros- pects.

Race secretary Jerry Sheen hag Rubison Clegg by Abner T. Clegg and Julia Clegg being train- ed by William Warfield. The many friends of George Sobey are glad to see that he has recovered from his accident of a couple of years ago and is new training nine trot- ters and pacers. George usually springs a surprise mid there may be one or more among them.

And now we come to one of the master retnsmen of the province. George A. Callbeck. who has star- red in a number of activities. particularly in the breeding of foxes and mink and has made a great name for himself as a breed- er of fast pacers. The Ann tribe are known for and wide for then; ability to come on at the finish and cop the dough. George has 16 on the go daily and that means a lot of miles to sulky or cart. We have no particulars as to the time of their workout miles but we can be sure they will be ready when they face the starter.

ISLAND BRED

In connection with our Island- bied troiters and pacers we are pleased to mention a remark made by lI.L. Mnnagiian of Sydney. owner of Barbara Ann Queen. win- ner nf 1.'l firsts last season and a new record of 2.09 2-5. Referring to her he said: ”i'd rather buy an island bred trotter or pacer than go to the sales and bring one back."

Last but not least on our list is our friend Willard MacDonald, who has always been good at Dick- ing winners and we believe pick- ed ii couple at the Harrisburg sale last fall. Tiiey are Airlock and Queen Rodney. The former took a record as a 4-year-old last year on the (rut of 2.05 at Vernon Downs. N.Y. Queen's Rodney is a 2-year-old boy filly by Rodney 1.57 2-5. one of the world's greatest sires and her dam is Queen Vic- toria 3. 2.04 is by Peter Volo 4. 2.02. dam Margaret Arlon 2. 2.10W. Queen Victoria is the dam of Royal Vickie 2.03. Delhi Lady 2.04 45. Arlon Pegasus 2.06 3-5 and is the grandam of Lumber Lass 2.03 1-5. Ceyway 2.05. Willway 3. 2.00 3-5. etc. Margaret Arlon is the dam of three in 2.00. 10 in 2.05. 15 in 2.10 and grandam of two in 2.00. 13 in 2.05.'etc.

From the above you will see that
