W. G. Gillespie. secretary of the Prince Edward island Harness Racing Club. is sending out entry forms for the 24th annual Colt Stakss for 1966. open to colts foal- Id or bred in the Maritimes. There are five classes -- Two Year Old Trot. No Your Old Pace. Three Year Old Trot. Three Year Old Pace and Four Year Old Trot. The first payment of 55.00 must be made on or before March 1. 1955. if you haven't received an entry form a post card to Mr. Gillespie will bring one by return mail. Through the energy and en- thusiasm of President Dr. R. F. Seaman and Secretary Gillespie these colt stakes have been an an- nual racing feature that is looked forward to by thousands of Mari- limcrs. They have been the means of developing through the years many of the best performers that have raced on our tracks and also gone further afield to win honors. Every owner of a colt should nomi- nate for one can never tell just where speed will show up. That has been our experience watching these futurities through almost a quarter ot a century.
