Wins another

Maritime Bred 3 - year _- old Record Is

Raymond Budlong Goes In 2:14 1-4 As Opening Day’s Racing Proves Senfional

Aaron L., LiEle Fox and

Kelly’s Nightmare are other Winners as big meet opens with four classes raced.

With Raymond Budlong breaking the Maritime bred record for fhree-y/ear-old pacers, with three horses taking new records and with two upsets featuring the four class card the opening day's races of the Old Home Week racing card got off to a sensational start yesterday as a large opening day crowd stayed through a driving rain in the ‘latter stages to see the completion of the sensational rac-

ing.

Yesterday’s card proved even more sensational than was the case a year ago. Raymond Budlong and Little Fox were the only favorites to come through as Aaron L., an

old favorite, ridden sensationally by Joe

O'Brien, who

drove him to many victories last year, taking his first win of the season in the feature race of the day, the 2:12 Trot & Pace, winning the first and third heats, and Willard Kelly providing a stunning upset as he came through with Kelly's Nightmare in the Three Year Old Futurity Trot to win the second and third heats after finishing third in

the opening mile. Blanket Finishes

‘thrilling stretch drives, blanket finishes and very fast times, the latter despite a wet track in the last half of the meet provided the large, colorful crowd wih thrills at a dime a dozen. Seldom if ever have fields tore down the home stretch in such sensational finishes and as the meet swings into its second day this afternoon an even more sensational day's racing can be expected. So fast were (he times, particularly in the 2.12 Trot 8c Pace that the track pacing rec- ord took a close call as All Grattan was forced to pace the second mile of the class in 2.06 1-4 as Aaron L. pushed him to the limit. Then Raymond Budlong, Wellington Mc- Neill‘; three-year-old pacing ma- chine, proved that. he is one of the best ever developed here as he won the three-year-old pace in straight heats ringing up miles of 2.16 1-4, 2.14 1-4. (the new Maritime record) and 2.16. The Budlong colt was the only straight heat winner of the day the three other winners managing to head their fields in two out of the three heats.

And despite unfavorable condit- ions the capable list of officials de- serve loads and loads of credit for their work. There wasn't a moni- ent’; delay all day with the result that the lengthy program was com- pletcd shortly after five o'clock and starter Otto Irvine is deserving of e special bouquet for his Work 1'55- tcrday getting his fields away with a minimum of scoring that made e big hit with the crowd.

The meet continues this after- noon with a crowd expected that will tax the capacity of the plant to the limit. Three classes are On the card for today. the 2.22 pace W111 seven starters, the 2.18 trot with six starters and the 2.16 trot and pace wih six starters.

Rcsults of yesterday's races saw Prince Edward Island horses and Nova. Scotla horses share top hon- ors. with two victories apiece and inter-province competition promises to be even stronger as the meet goes along.

Although the vaudeville program was curtailed sommvhflli yPfilefdfl-l‘ affrrnoon. due to the rain never- theless, those present saw enough to warrant it to being the best to come to the province and with fine Weailxcr for this afternoon's card s full program of vaudeville will be staged.
