Tid Bits From Here And There
While walking around the Charlottetown Driving Park vesterday morning a well known local horseman stepped us to tell us about something that apparently has upset him considerably. He was disturbed about the very prevalent rumor that a new stable of seven horses will be moving inte
the lecal race park within the near future. He told me:
have three horses now that I

have to take te Moncton this
weekend because I can’t get a start here and new they are
talking about bringing new horses into the track.”
We lis-
tened patiently to this horseman and told him we would mention his grievance in this column.

DUBLIN ‘AP) Soft .going was forecast Friday for the $221.788 Irish Derby to be run today. .
Two days of rain have pelted the Curragh track and even if no more falls before post time the turf for the running of the 1ts-mile classic is certain to be soft :
Backers of the 11-to-10 favor- ‘te Meadow Court, owned by Calgary publisher Max Bell. were confident of a win. Mea- dow Court likes a spongy course and trainer, Paddy Prendergast said the colt was in fine fettle.
Meadow Court earned the fa- vorite’s role by virtue of a sec- ond to France’s Sea Bird II in the Epsom Derby last month. Sea Bird: passed up the Irish race AMERICAN PLEASED
The course also pleased South Carolinan R. S. Reynolds Jr.,
whose Beddard revels in mud. Beddard, a 25-to-1 shot in the pre-post betting, has won his last three races. The winner’s share of the Irish Derby is $155,568.

Campbell said the NHL is “dedicated” in its expansion program to principal ob- jectives.
1. It is ‘mtended that the NHL will become the only major pro league operating coast to coast in Canada and the US. ©
2. The new division will oper. ate as soon as—but not before— its teams can be established on a competitive basis with exist- ing NHL teams.
3. The quality of NHL hockey “will not be affected in any ma- terial way” during the establish- ment of the new division.

‘today is one of those races that warm bettors’ hearts. They can
i line and play it on a hunch because there isn't a solid favorite in sight
Twelve horses have been nominated to take off in the 1%-mile gallop for the Queen's 50 Guineas and something like $45,000 to the winning owner. And it might develop into quite a horse race because any one of five or six Canadian-foaled three-year-olds could take it all.
The Queen Mother and an- other 30,000 or so racing fans are expected to be on-hand for the 5:25 EDT (6:23 p.m. ADT) post time.
NO DANCER
There isn't a Northern Dan- cer in this one. The Dancer, 1964 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner and probably the greatest Canadian bred thoroughbred of all time, romped to an easy 7'2-length victory last year and paid its backers $2.30, $2.40 and $2.10.
