TOPPING THE LEADERS
in goals scored is Dickie Moore
with 30. Andy Bathgate has 29, Litzenberger 28, Beliveau 26, Howe 25. Lowest goal getter in the top group is Boom Boom Geoffrion with 21. However, Geoffrion makes up for this in his essist department where he has 43 points to his credit, giving him his 64 which at the present time is good enough to share top spot with Bathgate and Litzenberger.

Boston harness horse fans will be able to see twice as much har- @ess racing this season than in previous years. The State Rac- ing Commission has granted the mile track at Suffolk Downs 23 nights of harness racing.
Their dates will be from Sep- tember 19 to October 15. Suffolk Downs has always been a track for runners, but now that har- mess racing is becoming so pop- ular, they have decided to put \on a big harness program this fall.
To show that they are no “‘pik- ers’, the officials at Suffolk Downs recently put in a bid for the privilege of staging the 1962 Hambletonian race for three-year- old Pate The amount they of- fered is 1160,000! ! Last year’s Hambletonian was for a purse of approximately $106,000.
Up to, and including, 1956 the Hambletonian was raced the mile track at Goshen, N.Y. Since
[then it has been raced at Du-
Quoin, Flinois, and they have the rights for it for 1959, 1960 and 1961. RECORDS BROKEN Attendance, wagering and re. venue in New York State broke all records in 1958, according to @n announcement by the New York State Tax Commission. For the first time, pari-mutuel turn-
over at harness racing ° tracks},
exceeded wagering at the running Revenue from all racing sour- ees, for the 866 days hit $80,- 903,329, compared with a previous record of $77,048,502 for the 783-<lay season last year. Atten- dance was 12.01,328, compared with 11,169,536 for the year 1957. The trotting tracks drew 7,050,- 002 and running tracks only 5,- 041 326 Total wagering at all tracks soared to a new high of $881,069,- 557, compared with the old mark Of $804,699,260 the year before. - Wagering at the harness racing tracks hit $465.304651 for 654 days. Betting at the running tracks in 212 days was $415,684.- 6. Since pari«<mutuel betting was
legalized 19 years ago, New York State has collected $730 million in revenue.
FIVE CLASSES
Secretary - Treasurer W. G. Gillespie is sending out entry forms for the 27th. Annual Prince Edward Isl Harness Racing Club Colt Stakes for 1959, open to colts foaled or bred in the Maritimes. -
There are five classes - two- year - old trot, two - year - old- pace, three - year - old trot, three - year - old pace, and the four\- year - old trot. The first payment is, $5, due on March ist., 1958.
Down im sunny Florida faster miles are constantly being report- ed for the two-year-old pacers and two-year-old trotters. Ben White Raceway has the majority of the two-year-old crop; it is located on the outskirts of Orlan
Since our last report there has been quite a reduction in the performances, and at present the record mark there, which is pro- bably a record for the whole United States, is held by Fred Bradbury's ‘‘Freightette,”” who has paced in 2.28 35.
For. a change they had some rain, which slowed the track up and cut out some of the training, but this doesn’t happen very of- ten
The two stables on which most of the attention is focused are the Billy Haughton and Del . Mil- ler strings. Billy's string hasn't shown the fastest miles, but they are all training necely and im- proving. every week. Del Miller was away in Paris to the Inter- national Race, of which we gave an account in this column. and it is expectéd that his return means there will be some real speed fireworks. Several of the two-year-oki colts have worked in 2.35, and all of them have beaten 2.45.
FASTEST MILE
Windsor, Ontario, claims. to have the fastest mile worked by a two-year-old this year. The re-

Abbies To Hold Practice Tonight |
Coach Junior MacLeod re-| quests a full turnout of all | Juvenile Abbies at Sports Arena this evening at 6 o'clock. All. players are asked to be on hand and dressed ready to go prompt- | ly on time.
-pacing filly, Success Joan, by His, Honor, p, 1.59%4, dam Pearl Rose-| croft, 2.07, was clocked in 2.24.|
The filly wears nothing but! loose hobbles and no boots. She! was a natural pacer from the! first time she was harnessed last | summer. She ,is in the stable! of Bruce and Bryce Fulmer.
The--young Maritime driver. Don Larlee, a native of Edmund- ston, N.B., is training at Aiken, South Carolina, where there is quite a number of stables. Don has some very promising three- yearolds owned by Grant Mes- singer of Denton. Texas, and J. T. Simpson of Harrisburg, Pen- nsylvania.
It will be remembered that Don had a very successful sea- son in the Maritimes some years ago, and the following year took a position with Joe O’Brien and drove a portion of his stable. STABLE TRAINER
At Pinehurst, North Carolina, Weldon Carroll, formerly of Syd- ney, Nova Scotia, is busy train- ing the Earl Avery Stable, which has some of the best trotters and pacers racing in it.
Weldon made a good Ynove when he left Sydney a few years ago to go with Earl, and has made good or he would not be in charge of a stable as valuable as the Clearview Stable, (which is owned by the Woolworths of “five-andten-cent” fame). during Earl's absence in Paris, France. to attend the International Grand | Prix race. ie
The Santa Anita Stakes sche- dule, which will be raced at their meeting which extends from March 13 to April 9 at their mile track at Santa Aniti, Cali- fornia, has been announced. There are twenty stake races, and they total in the vicinity of $130,000.
We expect to see the S. A. Camp Stable, with Joe O’Brien up as driver, active, in these stakes. Joe has not raced at the track at Bay Meadows, Califor- Bia where harness racing is now going on. He is probably giving his horses a bit of a after the severe campaign of last year, and also spending a lot of time with the two-year-olds by Scott Frost and other sires, that are getting their lessons preparatory to their stake obligations later.
No doubt the ten Maritimers that Joe has with him are en- joying the California climate and the very good accommodation they have at the Camp Farm. We might add that one thing Joe will not stand for is ‘‘King Alcohol,” so parents and friends of the Maritime boys can feel sure that the best of conduct and discip- line characterizes the S. A. Camp Farm's stables.
The films of the Hambletonian | and Little Brown Jug will be shown on CFCY-TV Thursday eve- ning, February 19th. Admirers of native son Joe O’Brien wil! see him in action in both these events - winning the middle heat of the trotting classic with the overlooked Little Rocky, and capturing the “‘Jug’’ for the first time in his career with the great Shadow Wave. The time for the showing has been set for six o’- clock
