A horseman friend writes stat- ing that he is interested in two horses. one by Star Dillon and the other by Oregon Hal. and would like a description of each and other particulars. We re- member Star Dillon quite well. He was owned and raced by If. E. Killem of Montague and al- though he did not have the best preparation he showed that he had the stuff of which race horses are nyde At. Fredericton, N. B., Sept. I (h, 1937, the 2.5 trot had four starters. but they were really good trotters and although Millie Kal- muck won in straight heats she was pushed .ln two of them by Star Dillon. It was a surprise to the Islanders who were there as practically everyone expected Pe- ter McKinney. that was suppos- ed to be u 2.10 trotter, to win r-asiiy. He was second the first heat and then 4-4, 8-2-2. Tara Hanover 4-3-3. Hanover as horsemen know, turned out to be a good brood mare. The time was 2.12 N2. 2.12 am, 2.13 V2.

illon had little opportunity as a sire while in the Maritimes. In regard to Oregon Hal our recol- lection is that he was brought here by the late Capt. John L. Read and was reputed to have been an extremely fast colt that had met with an injury. He was a well-bred Hal and a horse of nice appearance and was pur-

chased irom'the estate of Captain Read by Elmer Clow of Hunter River. He also had very little

opportunity in the stud.

Once again we are. remembered by friend S. Thane Belyca. Fred- ericton-, N. B..iwith news of Tom Scovll of Gagetown. who nt to work for the Poplar Hill Farm about a year ago and t'ook care of Evalina Hanover 159 MS. a six-year-old bay more by Billy Di- vcct 155. Tom writing says . . . "She was hard to keep sound but we managed it and she got a nice record. I expect to go to Toledo after the first of the year. I was offered a position with Joe O'- Brien this winter. It was hard to turn down but the Poplar Hill people have used me very well and it thought I had better stay. Joe is one of the tops of the Grand Circuit.” Thanks, Thane. horse papers are sale

Our friend Dick Hegan has very us with some interesting harness racing news York, ofe which these are extracts. The year 1952 can be marked down in the an- nals of harness racing as the year Standard Brod spot reached its maturity in the Metropolitan area. not only hcciiuse of all time re- cords wcre established for both attendance and handle figures. but because the sport has become an all-weather event. the last post- ponement taking place at Roose- velt Raceway was on June 4th when the final six races were cai- led off because of a deluge. Prior to that Yonkers postponed races twice in April and again on May 20th. but tlieronilcr followed the lead of Roosevelt by going through with its entire-'program as sched- uled. including it real had night when the Yonkers pacing derby took place in the summer and the closing night when 15.000 fans braved a steady downpour to wager over a million dollars. Rac- ing in all kinds of weather, par- ticularly in the Metropolitan area. was inevitable if the trotters and pacers were ever expected to vic on a full time basis with the thoroughbred sport locally and we think the way the fans bet on the two nights at boti plants speaks for itself.

,The two men who deserve the credit for making the final de- cision to race every night are George M. Levy of Rosevelt and William H. Cone of Yonkers. They combined their efforts and thoughts and racing every night in Metro- politan New York is apparently here to stay.- The final statistics at Yonkers reveal that the favor- ites were winning 38 per cent of the times in spring, 34 per cent in summer but slumped to 29.8 per cent in the fall when 100 favor- ites won out of 336 races. This percentage is higher than 1951...
