Track Records As Island Racing Circuit

In tact

Records Banner Season

The relentless march of time has brought us t0- the end of another year and gives us an opportunity to look back over doings in the harness horse sport so popular with the great body of people in our Island home.

It was an active year, starting with a matinee race at Charlottetown in June and ending up with a matinee race at Kensington in October. 'l‘wo hlaritime records were broken and more than a dozen 2.10 miles were stepped by

the pacers.

No track records were broken at the regular

meetings, but the track pacing record at Alberton was

equalled.

New four-year-old records for Maritime bred

trotters and pacerswere hung up by Island owned horses and a New Brunswick owned horse stepped the fastest mile ever credited to a Maritime bred pacer.

Matinee races were held 1n greater numbers than in previous years, probably due to the fact that there were less regular money purse race meets. Mll- lie Katmuck 2.12, owned and driven W Willard Kelly, South- fmfll. proved the bright particular star in the Island's tirmament b,\' her performances at. home and a/broad. She comipeted in eleven races mostly against axed horses. “M1118 seven and was second three times, and ended up the fastest four-year-otd trotter ever bred in the Maritime Provinces.

Prince Edward Island had twelve meetlnss with sixteen days’ rac- ing. consisting of regular race meets and motto“ racing, The Provincial Drhlbition race mggt at Charlottetown August 17th to 20th was the most important Maritime turf event or flu; year, 15531112 1'01"‘ dBYS- $5.000 in purses Was offered for which there were 150 entries. Island horses ‘won $1134.45. Nova. Scotia. horses won $1,716.84, New Brunswick horses $980.00 and Maine horses $212.30. There were twelve harness races reusing from a Free for A11 Trot and Pace to a. Two-Year-Old Trot. "Id PM». and roux" dash races. eleven of the heats being timed in 2.10 or better. Summerslde. Alberton Montague each held regular purse events. while matinee megs were

held at Summerside. hlberton. .

The aver- “3” time madfi °n the various tracks was usually good, but in i, few cases due to the tracks being heavy because of weather condl. tions the time was slower than the previous rear. but taken in the aggregate if. was very Qfgdit- able indeed.
