She had taken a pacing rec- ord of 2.08 375 and had total win- nings of 54,259 at the end of 1950. This year she started the season on the new gait at Montague and won, also at Charlottetown and beat a good field of pacers at Triiro, July llth in 2.11.

Asked about the difference in racing at Yonkers and Roosevelt as compared to Maritime ovals. he said the tracks are so wide that if a. horse draws an outside position and stays there for any length of time he is covering an awful lot of extra territory. One thing he not- iced at those tracks was the ab- sence of any rough driving. Every- one seemed to have lots of room and did not interfere with anyone else. That is probably due to the very close supervision given by the patrol judges. He said the tracks are very hard and there are an awful lot of lame or sore horses as a consequence.
