Benny 501189011. noted American trainer who raced a stable for Robert Trench of Teaswater, Ont- ario. when Mr. Trench was one ot the best patrons of the sport ir- Canada, reminiscing says, "r have had some Breed in my day such as South Bend Girl 2. lee Grand 2031-4, Iron Bars 2031-4. Hill Billy 2.03 3-4 arid numerous Others. but when I think of Grace Direct 2.001-4 and Jean Gratian 2051-4 I forget the balance. Jean Grat-tan was owned by R. French of Teaswatei‘. Grace Direct joined my stable in 1918 and in 1919 was started in 22 races, winning 17 and getting second money in the other five. not losing a race on a half- mile track that season. The fact that she still ranks as the top P110108 mare of all time with 71 firsts and 19 seconds in 10a starts proves what. a really great, 0m she was.

Jean Grattan did not get as fast a record as quite a few others I had but she was second in 2.02% in the Kalamazoo Derby in 1926 and won the $10,000 stake at Windsor, Conn.. $5.000 events at Endicott Munroe and Brockton. as well as a couple of $2,000 affairs at Malone, N, Y., that season. Like Grace Direct, Jean rattan was smart in addition to having everything else, and figured that her driver should know what was going on. She was contented in any spot she was placed in and al- ways came out of a hole flying with head straight and giving you all she had until you said. Whoa girl, as she assed the judges. In men- tioning er I also want. to add that she had a good owner. as Bo Trench was one of the finest gentle men, as well as one of the most lib- eral. I ever had the pleasure of training for.

Grace Direct and Jean Grattan

were not Neon light pacers-on and off. They were like the rest cf Maz- das-you turned on the switch at any spot in the mile and results were immediate and enduring. They were like the present fluid drive. you do not have to repeatedly shift ears. They were always under per- ect control and had perfect con- trol of themselves. As I see it aft:r years of experience, concluded Ml‘. Sturgeon, horses are like men, the number being limited that are not looking for an excuse to duck when you get them in a tzght spot, so one remembers the real top nurses he has been privileged to"“driv_e, just as he does the staunch frlencs will!) ‘have helped out in emergen- ces.’

Horsemen will all appreciate the excellent description given by Mr. Sturgeon of a real performer. That is the kind we are always looking for but they are few and far be- tween. The writer has raced up- wards of 70 horses and unly a few stand out from the crowd as real stars, Helen R. was one. her winn- ing of 5 races in ten days at Hali- fax and Charlottetown was quite a

rformance. Dick C. was cnotlter

hat had a wonderful burst of speed. far in excess of any horse I evzr owned. When ulled out from be- hind he llt.eraly lifted the sulky off the track. It was a thrill such as nothing else. not even the fast- est aeroplane we have ever been in, could equal. Heatherbelle for do-or- die gameness and righting a battle from wire to wire. such as his sec- ond heat at Morita ue in the race with Plucky Scott £09 will be re- called as another. Little Harvest Melody 2.10%, starting without record and winning two races from the best trotters in Canada in three days, was another.

Ernie McKenzie, Pictou, who is s. great authority on athletes and ath- etics. was here a few clays 8K0 in the interests of his shoe manufact- uring firm.
