The most important winter sale of 1941 was completed at Orlando. Florida, a few days ago when Vic Flemming purchased the four-year- old pricing gelding Edgar Hanover from E. Roland Harrlman and El- brldge Gerry. The price paid was around $4,000 and the colt will be raced in the Grand Circuit stakes Flemming sampled him before put- ting down the cash, stepping him [he last quarter of an easy mile in 30 seconds. He. is a son of Calumet Chuck (i!) 2.04, and his dam is Han- over's Bertha (3) 1.59 1-2. He was sold as a. yearling in New York in 193B, bringing $8,200, but did not prove successful as ft trotter and was changed to the pace this win- ler.

The best. mile of the season at Orlando, Flori-vi was by the two- year-oid pacer Volo Britten -2.22- 1-4. The best mile for a two-year- old trottcr was stepped by Frank Spencer. son of Spencer 1.59 1-2, out of Jane Revere (2) 2.06 3-4, time 2.26. The two-year-old pacer Char- lie Babrock came the last quarter of a mile in 31 1-2 seconds for Ben White. He is sired by Guy Abbey.

Harness horse papers continue i0 feature the ice races at Charlotte- town and considerable credit for this is due to Dr. J. M. Nicholson, local correspondent. In recent is- sues of The Harness Horse, The Horseman and Fair World and oth- er publications. there is full ac- counts oi doings here.

Doctor Baker won 16 firsts and 2 second moneys last season and his campaign was one of the greatest in pacing history. With two exceptions he raoed over half-mile rings and five of his miles on the minor ovals were below 2.05. (me of them in 2.03 1-4. two in 2.03 1-2, one in 2.04 1-2 and one in 2.04 3-4.

Contributing factors were a good sheet of ice and a. fa- vorable wind, plus well conditioned horses. Among the most imDYOl/ed horses this season is Silent Mao 2.15 1-4.
