IT WAS BACK on July 30 that a roan gelding named Mighty
. Lee put_on.a royal performance at Charlottetown Driving Park.
That’ was the afternoon George Callbeck reined the Willard Mac- Donald-Rankine MacLaine speedster to a new record at the local rating oval. Mighty Lee paced his second mile in 2.03:4, a new mark for himself and a new record for the Charlottetown track.
Before this he had 2-2 in the Walter Dale pace at Frederic-
| ton and in the Monctonian he came through with a 1-3 summary
and his mile of 2.05:3 was the best of the evening. ; HERE AT Charlottetown Mighty Lee proved far too good for
the competition he encountered and after Old Home Week he took
- full second of
his stride.
9% shapes up like one of the greatest free-for-alls ever
off for Halifax and a crack at the other top pacers in the-Mari-
times. However at Sackville Downs his success was anything but sensational and Island horse racing fans could hardly beliéve that Mighty Lée was losing with such regularity. However des- pite his losses he continued to draw the crowds to see him race and there were the faithful ones who insisted he would again hit

And he did Monday night at the very- same. Sackville Downs.
- AFTER FADING in the stretch in the first. mile ‘he led to the seven-eighths) the Callbeck-reined gelding came on to wi the second dash<in 2.04 and that time was-good enough to cut a e old record that had n equalled by Harry Hirsch’s Fancy Queen in the’first dash. . Abs ~ All the talk that Mighty Lee was.finished for the season stopped right smartly when Calltbeck got him home in front. Mighty’s Lee’s backers roared their approval and once again the top pac- ers of the Maritimes become a mighty — — _ ighty Lee failed in Monday night, then his suppor- ae edd, on been few ts totabe free-for-alls for 1959. But now
' that he has come through so brilliantly, he once again becomes
-the greatest race attraction in the seaside provinces.
JACK CRUICKSHANK; president of Sackville Downs, should Indeed be smiling after this one and tlie reason for the big grin undoubtedly the thought of the Colonel Dan pace which is to be ‘paced at Sackville Downs on Saturday September 26. : :
Jack is assured of having all the great pacers pack with him
this outstanding classie. And they surely are a lot of greats

Add to those the Hirsch mare, Fancy Queen, who had the best summary in Mon- day night’s race and equalled the’ track record in winning that first dash. You can be sure that Convair will be among the en- trants and, Francis Breau’’s great pacer has been just about the most consistent free-for-aller around Sackville Downs this season. | And then, of course, there will be Mighty -Lee. probably the most exciting race horse ever to come to the Maritimes. Yes, Mighty Lee has done quite a few things since. coming down our way. He has got himself a new.race record. 2.03:4; he has hung
that same mark up as -the Charlottetown Driving Park’ record and he has dropped the Halifax track
record to a neat 2.04. Those are indeed accomplishments that are hard to equal. .

The stage is set for a dramatic performance and you can be pretty sure that’s just what {it will be. , Mighty Lee may not emerge the victor but at least mainland. ‘ pace golfers know that all the rave notices we gave him were not just so much filler. He has surely proved he is a great per- former afid- both Halifax and Charlottetown track records stand as monuments to his ability. WE HAVE RECEIVED a kind invitation. from Mr. -Cruick shank to be his guest for this big race. We certainly intend to ac- cept the offer and be among the thousands who will watch this classic. j It should be a great one. :
THE DISASTROUS FIRE at the local racing ‘plant has left the future of racing for this season pretty well up in the air.
The pari-mutuel setup, has been just about wiped oyt and that means serious trouble as far-as racing any more this summer ts concerned However. although the machines for selling tickets would not be available any more in 1959, there_still is_a chance that some more racing could go on with the old system back ir vogue.
“However, the casiner windows are all. destroyed and the-werk ing cuarters of manv, of the pari-mutuel staff are no more There’are problems that would have to be straightened out if the

faster than Maritime tracks. But she has quickly became acclimna- tized, and her performanc® on (Monday night can be rated as the best in her rpoimg career. For this we can give great credit te George Mauger, who has shown outstanding ability with several |borses that he has raced for Mr. Hirsch.
Then we must not overlook the | Mighty Lee and driver George Calibeck that was racing at a disadvantage in his first start at Sackville Downs, where he went away in the second tier. He is the typ of horse that would be cifficult to_race from a back position, and a lot would be tak- en-out of him holding bim back until there was a clear place to take him out. We are sure all | friends of owners MacDonald and | MacLaine, and. driver Callbeck, will be glad to see his name im- scribed on the honor roll at Sack- ville Downs Raceway.

United States and last year he}’
made only one start. In his career.on the turf he had won |$20.475 prior to this year, and now, it appears that his sojourn in ‘Sydney has rejuvenated him— and he should ‘be quite a good pacer for the fast classes there.
