‘DOWN THE

BACK | STRETCH

Prix d‘Amerique at Vincen- , France, and was quite a bit rear when the home- stretch was reached, the victor being Jamin,, bred and trained in France.

In a recent issue of “The Horseman and Fair World” is an interview with Mr. Woolworth, giving some of his impressions of his visit to France. Speaking of the national French stud farm, which is located in Pin, some twenty miles ftom Vincennes, Mr. Woolworth says: “I found stallions there repyesenting many breeds (runners, trotters, ara- draft).

PEACE NATURES

The so-called high-class horses were housed in’ beautiful box stalls, but what was: absolute-

ly unbelievable to us was. that |-

in one barn twenty-eight studs of mixed origin were lined up in

Teach of each other. They all stood quietly, munching away, completely ignoring their neigh- bors. Earl Avery couldn't get ov- er it. ;

“it would be criminal if I did not commént on the French hos- pitality which was showered on us. Our every wish, no matter how trivial, was fulfilled without question. Twenty-four hours .a

There was a magnificent dinner given us at the Pavillion d’Elysee,; where we all reccived beautiful ‘medallions commemorating the occasion. There was also a won- derful party given us by Madame Valliere at Maxim’s..

“We should also give special ‘hanks to John Chyriacos, at whose training plant we houael our horses. He never tired in his offorts to please us.”

TURN OF SPEED

Commenting on the speed of the French champion trotter. Ja- min, Mr. Woolworth states: ‘In the Prix d’France, halfway around the final turn, he was dead last; when they straighteh- ed out into the stretch, he was lapped on the first horse and he “ay by six lengths, just breez-

“In my few, short years. asso- ciated with this ‘sport, I have

‘really’ been impressed by. Adios-

Harry, Scott Frost, and Merrie Annabelle, but nothing compared to watching Jamin trot the stretch this cold and windy day. It was frightening. There is no ques- tion in our minds that we have nothing that could push him on his home grounds in his current form. _-.“What he will do in this coun- try (the United States) under

range conditions remains to be co I would not venture a guess, but think a few complacent fhorsemen might be in for a

least in France, is twenty years behind us. There is no adequate starting system, no ‘spit box,’ no real handicapping, and as far as I can see, anything goes during a. race, except an unrestrained run. :

“Fortunately for us, the drivers were all very sporting, and gave us a lot more leeway than we could expect a4 one of our race- ways. The track at Vincennes consisted of black cinders; it was heavy, slippery going. The track, from wire to wire, mea- sures one and a quarter miles.

“The Prix d’Amerique (race) commences in the rupway, not unlike the Widener Chute at Bel- mont Park (used by the runners), where, despite the aid of binocu- lars, it is almost impossible to identify the horses. It is approxi- mately three--sixteenths until you

turn into the long stretch in front of the stands. There is a slight trend downhill for 500 meters, then 500 meters of sharp drop- off, and then into a wide, sweep- ing turn, followed by an uphill grind of 1,000 meters before wind- ing into the final turn and the run for home. It is no picnic.

“Frankly, I think anyone. who has a trotter of free-for-all qual- ity, should at least consider mak- ing the trip. It is an experience you will never forget, and I know as soon as I am lucky enough te acquire another one in that class, I am headed right back to gay Paris.” (The meter measures 39.37 inches).

WINTER FOR RACING”

One’ has to take a long, long back to other years to find a winter in which so much enjoy- ment has been given to so many by ice races conducted in the Charlottetown area,.and Sydney, Nova Scotia, where an estimat- ed 5,000 people witnessed . the sport one day a couple of weck’s

ago.

Locally, we haven’t had such a turnout as that, partly be cause gur accommodation is more limited, but we are sure the fans are equally as inter- ested. Just by chance, we picked

and found that on Saturday af- ternoon, February 25, 1933, the best ice race megt of the season and the largest crowd, with good classes and racing, and a new season’s record for the quar- ter mile, were the features of the .afternoon’s program staged) by the Victoria Driving Club on the harbour ice. Here is a sum- mary of the meet:

Class ‘‘A’’’ Pace - Parker Boy (W. MacNeill) 1-2-1, Johnny Mil- es (MacKinnon) 2-1-2, Orola (J. Arbing) 3-3-3, times 324%, 30% and 31.

Class “A” Trot -- Chestnut Dil- lion (P. MacKenna) 1-1-1, Ruth S. (Shepherd) 2-2-2, Bingen Aub- rey (Wood) 43-dr, Worthy Lou- ise (MacKay) 3-dr, times °32, 33% and 32%. ’

Class “B” Pace - Silver Doe- tor (Notting) 1-3-dh4, ‘Lealock’ (Hennessey) 2-1<dh-2, La Rico

(Webb) 3-3-2, times 32; 33%, 32 %, and 31%.

Class “C” Trot and Pace - Law- less Peter (T, Holmes) 1-1-1, Pe- ter Sett (Blafichard) 2-3-2, Ethel Aubrey (Ross) 3-2-4, Dream Girl (Kelly) 4-4-3, times 34, 33%, and We.
