RACEI) HERE

Many will recall the perform- ance of Peach Butter. owned by Harry Hirsch of Sydney when he raced at Charlottetown on July 7. 1951. Mr. Hirsch had bought him some months previously and he lived up to all the expectations he had regarding him. Here is the summary of the Free For All Pace. purse 51.050:-Peach But- ter (G. Manger) 1-2-1; Cheeky Chief (J. l'eniiess ,) 2-l-2; Vella Ls Veils 3-4-3: Lock Hanover 5- 3-4; I-ledgewood Chief 4-6-8: Man- nister Direct 8-5-6; Argot Pointer it-7-5; Josedale Clipper 6-ii-9; Time Table 7-9-7. Time: 2.08 3(5. 2.08 3-5. 2.09. Later Mr. Hirsch sold Peach Butter to Gerald Moreau oi Quebec. and at Rimouski.Sept. iii he won the free for all with 1-1. Time: 2.05. 2.10. That year he made at starts. was 24 times first. five times second and twice third.

We were delighted to receive a lIllt)l0 of Watchim 2.06 from (lcorge A. Callbeck. Sumnierside. which was taken Nov. 3. 1955. at Amherst. He was the winner of first prize and the championship stallion. also roadster class and Maritime trotting stake at the litsritinies biggest live stock show. We had read where he looked Just like a colt and the statement was no exaggeration. He is standing. perfectly and looks as though he could be har- nessed and conditioned to break track records as he did years ago. in our Review which will appear later. if you go over the Maritime track trotting records you will find the name of Wat- chim very frequently. Watchim's owner is Frank Adams of Hall- fax and we are sure he will be (lCil;.'Ille(l when he receives I similar photograph from George.

FINE ADDITIONS

We were very pleased to have a letter from our friend Edwin T. Keller. general manager of Ver- non Downs. N. Y.. who attended the meeting of the United States Tmltlnll Association at Columbus last week and regretted that we could not be present. He also ex- I1l'essOfI the hope that he would flat down this way sometime and "Nome acquainted with the llnrsemen in our section. He was present at the Harrisburg sale and saw H. M. Sweeney of "Wlitewater and B.(':. Cruikshank of Halifax when they bought Newport Express and Newport Chief and states that they should be quite an addition to the har- ness horses here.

Richard Jnbalee of North Syd- tIe.V has been throwncr of bar- ness horses for upward; or twenty years and probably In that long period of time. hasn't had a performer that he thought more of than Marjorie M.

ers of his'stable with the excep-

tion of Top Bross, that in Earle Avery's capable hands was I fre- quent winner at Roosevelt and Yonkers. At Yonkers on Sept. 21 he won a 84.000 pace in 2.05 W5 and shortly before had won in 2.06. These are just a couple of starts that we noticed particular- ly. Also the 6-year-old pacer Wing Commander 2.04 35. In- other good campaigner handled by Earle Avery. They are at present stabled with Merle Wale at Pinehurst. N. C. and will be f”l'”" "net! on the Grand Circuit next year, together with the two llL'il' iillics purchased at Harris- burg, Grand Hazel Hal and Grand Miss Volo..These lassies are staked extensively in the U. S. for 56.

Lookiiig over some accounts of the Spring meeting held in Santa Anita. Calif. we notice the fol- lowing regarding the 517.475 free for all pace which brought out a field of six starters and turned out to be a real sizzler. Hawkins Hoss .2101, owned by Walter S. Found. set the early pace with the favorite Scottish Chief 1.59 :1 5 not being able to get closer than fourth. Right at the finish Freeman Hanover. the 9-year-old son of Dean Hanover 1.5t1l&,from the W. Lachenmaier Stables of Shaffer. Cal.. got up in the final strides, to get I nose decision from Hawkins Hoss. the mile be- ing in 2.00 flat. We have just had a Christmas remembrance from Waiter in California. and it brought the above to mind.

THRILLING MILE

Just prior to the racing of that feature race Neil Housiet got the 7-year-old gelding Scotch Spencer home in another thriller. the mile in 2.00 2'5-a new mark for the Spencer horse owned by Lee Owen of Omaha. Neb. That was certainly fast stepping for so early in the season. but of course the horses had been campaigned during November and the early part of December. It was at that meeting that one of the most sensational trotters of 1955 made his appearance. namely. the 5 year-old gelding Gateway. owned and driven by Clyde Tisher of California. He only had I record of 2.12 2l5 previous to the open- ing of that meeting. yet he land- ed his fifth straight race that same afternoon as the above events and took I new mark of 2.02 2.5. This year he was the horse that took the honors from Scott Frost in the first leg of the S75.000 trotting stake at Califor- nia and then went lame. His owner had been offered 350.000 and refused it. In our long ex- perience with rscing we were of- ten reminded of a saying the late Ronnie Steele had. which was "Pick the cherries when they're ripe". meaning that when I horse makes a real effort and brings a big offer from an en- thusiast. that is the time to pocket the dough.

L. B. Slicppard. president of the United States Trotting Asso- ciaiion. and one of the owners of Hanover Shoe Farms and no doubt the man who has put his standardbred nursery in the top position it occupies today. cer- taiiily picked another good stal- lion for breeding purposes in Scotch Victor 2.00. owned by Sol Camp of Shatter. Calif. His sire is Volomite 2.0.'ll."4 and the sire of his dam is Scotland 1.5055. two of the greatest progenitors alive today. Scotch Victor was a con- tcndingv factor in all the promin- ent stakes. from his 2-year-old form on. Last fall he won in 2.00 US in California. His record was taken in the trotting derby, in which he defeated Kimberly Kid 4, 1.59. that was recently sold for 3150.000 to a stock farm syndicate in Lexington, Ky. His lifetime earnings are Sll9.853.m and he gwu driven in all his races by Joe O'Brien.

FIVE VICTORIES

Racing certainly must be tough at Yonkers Raceway where we noticed that Mnmscot 2.01825 led all pscers there the past season with five victories. He is s 10- year-old gelding by Highland Scott 1.5995. that made quite I comeback this season. Eleven poccrs tied for second most wins. Gypsy Gal 2.06 115 being top be- cause she was undefeated in her four trips to the gate. The horse making the most starts was Ern- est Duke. that faced the barrier 14 times during the 83 nights of racing. '

Family Awarded F80.000 After Boxer's Death

ALBANY. N. Y. (AP)-The state court of claims Tuesday awarded 580.000 to the family of s welter- weight boxer who died in Septem- ber, 1051. of injuries suffered when he was knocked outvin I bout at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Judge Fred A. Young declared that the death of George Flores of Brooklyn was "an Indictment of the entire system of medical examinations” of the state sthletic commission.

Flores. 21. died four days -lifter he had suffered I technical knock- out at the hands of Roger Don- oghue. Donoghue had TKo'd Flores in s match at White Plains. N. Y. 15 days before the fatal bout. Flores left his wife, Elaine. and a son. Michael. who was a month old at the time of his father's death. , The family had filed suit for 5500.000 against the. state on the grounds that the commission was negligent in thatrit violated its own rule that fighters who have been 'nocked out must wait 80 days before they may fight "'igain. Young ruled that the controls- sion was negligent.

owned by S. A. Wathen and Sons. and we have very pleasant recoi- iections of them through the years and particularly for the support they gave racing in the Maritimcs in the long ago. Many will remember. and perhaps it would be nice to again bring back to the memory of Mr. S. A. Wathen. the performance of his great pacing mare Eula H. Here is the summary: Aug. 21, 1931- Free For All Pace-Eula H. 2.06 (Keyes) 1-1-2; Volo Rico 2.0514; (MacKinnon) 2-2-1; Trampsmug 2.0295 (Sweet) 3-3-6; Ruby P. 2.0604 (Hood) 5-5-3; Lambert Todd 2.0215 (A. Lewis) 4-4-4; Janette Royal 2.043). 6-6-5; Bonnie M. 2.02V2 (Gerow) dis. Time: 21052, 2.08. 2.0834. The middle heat was a new track record. displacing the previous one made by John R. Braden some years before.

WELL BORN

Hollis MacDonald of Bonshaw was in our office the other day getting registration forms for the yearling Dawn Harvester. by

Fimcoe Harvester 2.0494. dam Margaret Aubrey by Captain Aiioi ey 2.07M. granddam June

Bingen by Bud Axworthy 2.14. the third dam. Sally Bingen 2.12 by Binjoila. That list of names brings back a tremendous lot of harness racing summaries. those of Simcoe Harvester in Ontario and Quebec. where he lowered the track record twice in one week and left it at 2.003. Then his campaign in the United States and finally his being brought to the Maritimes. Unfor- tunately before he came here he met with an accident and was never able to perform at peak speed bccause of it. He was I horse that should have taken I record of 2.()0 quite easily on mile track. Captain Aubrey 2.07V4 was bought at a disposal sale of a Western stock farm by the Hon. John Richards nf Bldefortl and the writer was present when Henry Thomas. one of the great stage coach drivers of the long ago and manager of the King Hill Stock Farm. where Captain Aub rey had been in service. stated that if he were mated with mares by Constantine he would produce champions.

H. D. Fulton of Upper Stewi- acke. N. S. bought Helena Con- stantine at that sale and later mated her to Captain Aubrey and Peter Ptikcy 2061.5. that was I 2.00 trotter without doubt. and several others out of that mare proved that his opinion was cor- rect. Then we come to Bud Ax- worthy. That horse on account of his being a full brother to Lee Axworthy 159': was SW9" I UV- out by such prominent trttinerl as Walter Cox. He had terrific nights of speed but would make breaks and run for a hundred or more yards. Finally they gave up trying to make a race horse of him and he was bruoght down to P. E. 1. where. when he was 14 ye.,s.old the writer gave him his record of 2.14 on the pace. Sally Blngen had s record of 2.12 and was a good race mare. own- ed by or. W. C. Church of Sum- mcrsidc. and her sire Blnlolls. was one of the good ones in the U. S. A. Now getting back to Margaret Aubrey. she is reputed to have had is fonts and this. the 16th. is stated to be one of the best of the lot. so heres hot)” for Dawn Harvester making the headlines in I few years.
