Tracey Hanover Will Race At Lexington

HALIFAX, Sept. 9—-(CPi _ A grand old campaigner of Maritime harness racing tracks. Tracey Han- over. is getting ready to go south for his important challenge race. Jack Scott's tamed pacer who became a trotter is expected to leave Wednesday for Kentucky where he will perform in the in- ternational two-galted race at the wcll known Lexington Trot! late in September.

The hi-g event will bring to- gether Tracey Hanover and Custer Voio. both more than a dozen years

old.

Arranged early last spring, there was some doubt of Tracey making the southward journey because he was below form. A favorable show- ing at Pictou last week. however, has set the stage for the trotter to accept the challenge.

Just who will ride Tracey is still questionable, but it is hoped Johnny Conroy, who gave him his trotting record, will be behind thc veteran. Conroy gave Tracey his mark on the trot after the double- gaited Hanover horse had been converted from the pace. If Con- roy is unable to make the trip, owner Scott says he may have Del Cameron. youthful grand circuit driver, handling the reins.
