and last year's champ Iola Henlegw

20815.

A pacer that has survived a lot of hard luck and came back to win fame and money is the six- year-old Guinea Gold 4. H0 145. As a foiir-year-old at the begin- ning of the season he fractured a bone in his left hind foot biiteame back to win at Lexington that fall lr. 159 115. As :1 five-vcar-old a bone in his right hind foot crack- !d but he was back to the faces again. This Spring he fract- ured a bone in his right. shoulder but has been simnlv terrific for driver Paul Hungerforcl of Shelby- ville. Indiana. He has made eleven starts and won everyone of them. At COIlf10rSVll.lF'. Ind- he won the Free Frir All in straight heats. In the second heat he paced the first half in 1.01 315 and the final half in 100 US to win in 2.02 IVS. set- tinrz up a new track pacimz re- cord. Shortlv after he equalled the Shelbyville track record of 2.02 and at last reports had paced five miles faster than 2.04 215.

It will soon be time for the fall colt sales. We have already re- ceived the catalogue for Twocaits Farin yearlings that will be sold at Tattersalls. Lexington. Ky.. Oc- tober lst. They are the get of Hal. Dale 2.0215. Chief Abbedale 200. Scotland's Comet 2.00. Victor- ious Hal 2.0316. True Chief 1.59-ll. Brown Prince 2.00. Bifty Worthv 2.0616, Sky Raider 2.02 US (full brother to Greyhound 1.5514) and Colby Hanover 3. 2.0014.

From Dr. George Bishop we have received the catalogue of the thoroughbred (runners) yearlings of Almahurst Far-rn. owned by Henry H. Knight. Lexington. Ky. The introduction states: "Alma- hurst Farm is pleased to present this pre-view of its 1951 yearllngs. This is the 12th consecutive crop to go from this farm, the first ten having won over 53,000,000." The photos of the yearlings show them of beautiful conformation, large and well developed. Mr. Knight was also one of the most success- ful breeders of harness horses and among the champions bred at his farm was Greyhound 1551.1. He was the owner of Elizabeth by Peter the Great 2.0726. clam. Zom- brewer 2.0414. that produced in addition to Greyhound sixteen other trotters and pacers of note. Zombrewer is also the dam of Peter the Brewer 2.0285. the sire of Calumet. Budlong 2.0234. Peter the Brewer brood mares and their daughters are now showing up ex- ceptionally well. some of the fast- est. this year being their progeny. It is not too much to expect that mares sired by Calumet. Budlong will also be very valuable as brood mares.

Enclosed with the catalogue was a letter from Dr. Bishop with the following: "I understand that the

Exhibition Association is planningl

two-year-old and three-year-old racea for 1952 to include Ameri- can bred horses. providing they are owned in Onnnda by January. 1952. That will no doubt add to racing in the Maritimes. I don't expect to be out of racing Very long myself. I have retained Kel- ly's Nightmare, Addie Budlong, lma xalmuck. Pearl Bumpu. Teetonty and I have an Abner '1'.
