Our drivers away from home continued to keep their colors well to the front. In the list of ten top money winners recently re- leased by the United States Trot- ting Association, Joe O'Brien stands fourth with 5269.579 won by horses he drove. in the list of ten top dash winners Joe stands eighth with 85 wins. At tho Hollywood meeting which started in November and was com- pleted December 5th, Joe O'Brien was the outstanding drlvor, win- ning nearly 570,000 and being far in the load in points.

Fiarle Avery had splendid suc- cess the past season. racing al- most entirely at Roosevelt Racq- way and Yonkers. From time to time we noticed where horns he drove were winners and he is ninr-tn-nth in the money won list with 3111.525. Earle is looked

SPEED BROUGHT IN

Last fall as usual when the 15th annual auction was on at Harris- burg. Pa.. November 9th. there were quite I few Maritimers to bid on or buy one or more of the over 900 trotters and pacers cutti- logucd. Some top performers were purchased but the number bought was not nearly as many as the previous year. At the Lexington sale which was held two weeks before Harrisburg. R. J. Loguc, prominent auto dealer and horse- man of Sydney. N. S., bought pri- vately the yearling pacing colt Banner Way, by King's Counsel 1.58. dam, Direct Lady 4. 2.07 SM by Billy Direct 155. The sire. Kingls Counsel. was one of the greatest pacers of all time and the dam, Direct Lady. was the winner of 40 races in Canada. Banner Way is R magnificent in- dividual and was one of the most highly regarded colts in the on- He. with three others purchased by Mr. Logue. and Prince Maplccroit

MB. are now At the training tum of Sanders Russell, Stevenson. Als- buua. in charge of Wendy Carroll. Mag:-ltimers will be hoping that the heavily staked Banner Way will make the headlines in 1954.

Acting for his patron, Jack Curran, well known contractor of Summerside, Don MncNelll bought the four-year-old pacer Honest. Abbe 2.06 U5, privately at Harris- burg. As he was one of the stars of the sale it. must have taken I lot of money to separate him from the owner, particularly as he is one of the best bred young stallions racing today. His sire is Chief Abbedsle 2.00. sire of this year's sensational pacer H. 3. Chief 1.58 N5. and his dam is' Honest Truth 4, 2.05, and Honest Abbe is her first foal. Her sire is Blackstone 4, 1.59 1M, sire of 14 in 2.05 including Royal Black- stone 1.58 315. and her dam is the noted race mare and brood mare Abbe M. 2, 2.07 3H (h.m.t.) the dam of Pleasant Surprise 3. 1.58 U2. Floating Dream 2, 2.00 -U5. 3, 2.00 25X. Frank Jackson 2.02 U5. that was a cripple for three years And this season took his record At Lexington. stepping the last quarter in the phenomenal time of 21 W5. Abbe M. is the dam of five in 2.06 and her dam was the noted race more and brood mare Beile Mahone 212 IM, dam of seven in 2.10. Honest Abbe was one of the best pacer! of the Maryland circuit this year and he inok his record of 2.06 US over a field of nine other nacers and in doing so nosed out the almost un- beatahie pacer Billy's Lady. He was timed in 2.04 2A5 in a race in which he was second to Ban- ner Direct 2.01.

A pacer with an even faster re-g

cord than Honest Abbe is Walter l-lcnnessey's Royal Value 4, 2.0-i W5. also bought privately at Hai- risburg. He took his record at Roosevelt this season driven by Joe O'Brien, who recommended him to Mr. Hcnnessey, and his total all time earnings are 521,- 884va pretty nice hunk of money for 8 four-year-old. He is by Royal Napoleon p. 2.00 SM. sire of 12 in 2.05. and his grandslre was Napoleon Direct p. 1.59 (V4. Royal Value's dam is Miss Abbie Dillon 2.09 dam of two others in 2.10, and her sire was the family found- er,-Ahbedalc 2.01 1H. His pedi- gree is teeming with speed and we understand that he has per- fect manners.

from Mu-itims tracks book up next season! Mr. l-lonnuuy Also bought an old favorite At Kurtis- burg-Trus HA1 IN by HA1 Dals 2.02 lld, dam. Truo Athlons by Athlone Guy 2.03 U3. True I-Isl is familiar to Mnritimcrs having raced here for part of two seasons and showed his heels to some of the fastest pacer: then perform- ing. We understand that he won in 2.0? U5 this season over A half- mile track. A son of the great Hal Dale, he should be A valu- able horse as A sire when his rac- ing days Are over. '

True Sy is I four-year-old pac- ing more by True Chief 1.50 3H. dam. Clementlns Woolen 2.10 1l2. that found a new owner in H. E. Johnston of St. John. N. 3., for- mer owner of Jcsedaie Clipper 2.08 U2. True Sy wAs trained on the pace for the Jlrst time this sak- son and was just nosed out in 1

photo finish by Patrick Song 3. 2.(li (V5 in 2.09. She was second

in her nut start in am And with her youth And breeding should be A good not mars in 1964.

Oneal the high priced slow CiISs pacer! brought to the Maritimes in years is Parker B. 2.07. a five. year-old brown gelding by Park... S. 2.07 4l5, dam. Ribbon. Time was I lot of bidding on him and he was finally knocked down to J. Henry Dewitt "of Woodstock. N. B. for 33.500. We asked our friend Henry how he came to pay so much money for this Particular horse and he said that he hap- pened to be passing and saw a group of men looking him over. He was struck by the horse's n,.. pesrance and soundness and what

they said about him. Parker la, is n free-legged paccr and in. stepped last quarters in brim..-

thun 30 seconds and lie is Piiqiiiin to the 2.21 pace. -Keep your eye on Parker 8. and Henry.
