Leading Maritime Ila.-Insmen Of 1952

(Only points won on Maritime tracks are taken into account. Standings are computed on the percentage system-win, place and show, or in other words. tlrst. sec- ond and third. in relation to the number of starts. A minimum of 60 starts is required.)

At. the top of the list with a per- centage of .487 is the well known driver Harley Harrison, Port El- gin. N. B.. who with a small stable had a large percentage of wins Among the horsm he drove were the three-year-old pacer Royal Bank 2.1258, and Symbol Majesty 2.121.(-..

In second place is Womall Lewis of New Waterford, N. 8.. with .455. He raced the early part of the season at Foxboro, Mam, but soon made his presence felt on his re- turn to the Maritimes. Worrell. as mentioned before, had 46 wins. be- ing second in that respect to lead- ing heat winner Len O'Meara with 48. Among the horses he drove were Lucky Chief 2.041.-is. Crusader Chief 2.094,.-., Jenny Lyn 2.06. Shin- ing Hour 2.1115. and Cobblestone 2.111.-.. In third place is owner- trainer-driver J. H. Dewitt. Wood- stock, N. B., who drove Brighton 2.111.-.. Just Lucky 2.1111,-., Mr. Mc-

Frisco 2.1915 and others. centage is .437.

In fourth place is an up and coming driver, Ervin Fraser of Sydney, N.S., who placed well in nearly all his races, The horses he campaigned included Jacob With-

His per-

row 2.12"'(, and Roy Shelburr. 2.09"lr., and his percentage was) .435. In fifth place is Ray O'Brien

oi Albcrtori, P.E.I. with .431. Ray had a good stable that included Doctor J. A. 2.091.-., Freddie Scott 2111?.-., Whirlaivay 2.1935. Bellini Mite 2.184.-.. Buster C. 2.0915, and others. ,

In sixth place is the well known xlriver Clayton MacLeod of West- ville, N.S., with .423, whose Iola Henley set up a new track pacing record at Truro, won the three fastest heats paced and also tied with Lucky Chief for honors as leading heat winner. Clayton raced from the beginning of the season to i-he last and was a worthy con- tender in every event. Among the other members of his stable were David G. 2211;. Fraser Scott 2.19-is. Lombardy Peter 2.14, and Miss Cherry Valley 2.13.

Next on our list with .418 is Joe MacDonald.one of the best drivers and caretakers in the business. He is the fourth largest heat winner and among the horses he skiilled to victory were Vella La Vella 20815. Cyclonlc 2.08 and Rajah Hanover 2.13?r..

In eighth place is the very pop- ular Johnny Conroy, Truro, N.S.. with .405, who stands third in number of heats won and who al- though meeting with sn accident, bravely carried on throughout the season. always being well up with the winners and taking 3 large share of the honors. He was also Lhe driver of the fastest Maritime bred pacing gelding, Joey Harves- ter 2.09-1.-.. Others he raced were

In ninth place is Myron Mac- Arthur of Kensington. P.E.I. with .401. Myron had a wonderful sea- son. aiways picking up points and having his charges well trained and well shod. With higher calibre

threat for leadership in the future. Our list is completed with the popular Woodstock horseman, R E. Hamilton, whom we noticed as we went through the records had a splendid percentage of placlngs. His percentage was .400 and he and Myron finished practically neck and neck. ,

The list of drivers that won hon- or; the past season could be great- ly extended because so many of them drove spectacular races and finishes. that had to be photo- graphed for the judges to arrive at a decision. There were also quite a few of them that were close up to the leading ten.

Our Drivers Away From Home

Our Maritime drivers continued to make their pl cnce felt wher- ever they raced, from Maine to California. Joe O'Brien 'f1nished fifth among all the drivers in the United States and Canada in money won. with s224.260.37. al- though his stable was not nearly as formidable as the previous year. Next season with a privately own- ed stable, that of Sci Camp, Cali- fornia, who spent 3109.000 for the purchase of yearlings and these with additions from his previous buys and brcedlngs. Joe will havel a better opportunity to display the;

wonderful training and driving qualities he possesses. Another Maritime driver that.-

was much talked about the pasti few seasons and particularly thisi one, was Earle Avery, who raced so well at Roosevelt and Yonkers and had the best two-year-old trotter over a half-mile track. His, placing was 23rd with money win- nings of 397,027.65.

Earle Semplc. Kensington, who with the exception of a few starts at Charlottetown, raced exclusively -Maine, had a good season t-here. giving Mhna Clegg a new record and winning with her on different occasions. also with Dean Gallon and Mary Mark.

Rannle MacDonald's name ap- peared ll uently in the summar- ies at Foxboro and also that. of Worrell Lewis. both from Cape Breton. 1

New speed Brought In

For over nfty years harness horsemen in the Maritimes have been attending the (all niictionl sales such as the Old Glory in New York and its successor, the. Stnndardbred Horse Sale: at Har- risburg, Pa.. but. never in that long time has anything ilkeithe number of horses been purchased or the amount of money c:;','1:ndcrI in (lac acquisition of new speed I-i1(lI (1. occurred this year. .
