in bringing back crippled horses to racing form by new systems of tricatment and by the scientific use 0. X-ray machines which locate trouble spots that induce lame- ness. etc. In a recent letter from Claude O'Brien received by . friend. Claude states that it is now the pract.cq that if a two. year-old or younger colt shows ‘Duffy hooks or tendons or signs of splints they are at once fired. The firing is not as severe as it would be with an aged horse but it is stiﬁicient to tzghten tip the ten- ueeks the youngster can be jogged: and in at ten‘ more weeks given regular work.

hopes to have hint racing in June. Owned by Bart McGraw of Hud- son. the blazn-faced son of Dean Hanover swept 13 out of 16 starts in 1952. including 12 out of 14 at the Spa. \'i/caring no liopples all season. he showed a capacity for iral speed. He earned a record of 2.04 at the Spa and apparently could have beaten it on several ti:'Ca5l()li$. He paced right at 2.02 :n a Suratoiza Grand Circuit event that he lost to Thunderclap by half a. length in 201 4'5. He also set I track record of 2.05 4/5 for sophomore pact-rs at Rutland, Vt., Fair.

Rut Bonny Sll<I(IPllIV wcnt. lame in his lcft front foot. here last July Lind as he was nearing the finish of his last warmup mile. He was cause of his

lameness was obscure. In fact. it sooii became a matter of conjec- ture and still is indiiy. First

.IlE(il‘y was he had stepped on a stone and suffered a bruise. Poul- tlces were applied. Bonny came back to train in close to 2.07 the next week and another attempt was marlc to start him July 14. Again his fin.-tl warmup mile saw nim go gimpy and he was scratch- ed. The horse was sent to Cornell where X-rays showed a. slight crack in the foot. But whether it was this crack, a bruise, or still ﬂl’iIllI“l»"l' belinf—that he had con- tracted hcels—-the decision was made to have both of his front feet cut away. "He had small feet for a horse of his size." Rodney explains, “so it was planned to have him grow larger ones. Now, they're j ust about completely grown out and they look good." Bonny has been jogging ever since he returned from Cornell in late Jiily,but his serious training didn't as-gin until several weeks ago. He’: bash in 2:40 and while faster miles will have to prove his soundness, Rodney thinks "he'll make it."

Horsemen throughout the Mari. times will remember with what astonishment they raid that Gurly Sniart. famous driver and trainer NT lhr Castlcton Farm stablc. Lex- ington. Kentucky, had been set "lown for a year because of the use of a. stimulant given to his horses at a certain race meet. Curly had used the preparation in good faith. it having been recommended to him by it leading veterinarian, he said, as containing vitamins only. Swab tests at several tracks show- ed no reaction but at another track in another state where urine lusts were taken the drug Apheta- mine showed in the test. Curly was set down for it year by the United Stalvcn Trotting Association out an injunction suit was taken against t.hatAssociation and Smart drove the balance of the season. Now word comes from Columbus, Ohio. dated March 31st. as follows;

"AIlIOTl’lP_\'ﬂ for Wayne (Curly) Smart, Delaware. Ohio. harness horse driver, have filed an entry of dismissal in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in their in- junction suit against the U. S. Trotting Association for having suspended Smart from driving. As A. result of the dismissal ofSmart's action against the U. S. T. A., it

reinsman handed down by the New York State Harness Racing Com- mission last. Sept. 30th is automat- ically invoked under the US.'1‘.A. ‘o-ciprocity rule. smart thus will int he itble to train or drive at my nice meeting in any state un- til after Sept. 30th of this year."

A part of Curly‘: stable was raced in New York by his assist- ani. trainer and in a search of his tack room I. hypodermic syringe was found and he was brought be- fore the stewards for having in his _ ion an article which had ‘let. been declared and which he

OOWN THE BACK STRETON

that he had been giving injec- tions of I vitamin preparation Smart had furnished him with and told him to use some hours before it race. He was set down for I year by the New York Asso- elation.

In looking over the rules of the Ontario Racing Commission we find that they are very definite on certain points. This Associa- tion is sponsored by the govern- ment and is upart from the rules of the Canadian 'I\—otting Associa- tion:—Salin Tests: The cost of taking and analyzing saliva sam- ples ivill be boine by the Commis- sion. Searches For Drugs and Hy- podcrmic Needles: No person within the grounds of a race track where race horses are lodged or kept. shall have in or upon the premises which he occupies or has the right to occupy, or in his per- sonal property or effects. any iiy- podermic s_v r i n g e, hypodermic needle or any other device which could be used for the injection or infusion into a horse of any sub- stance designed to change its form. without first securing writ- trn permission from the steward- judges.

The Commission, all persons op- erating race tracks or conducting race meetings and any one of thc steward-judges shall have the right to permit a person or per- sons authorized by any of them to enter in or upon the buildings of any race track. to examine. search and inspect them and the personal property and effects of any per- son in or upon such places. Every person who participates in a race meeting approved by the Commis- sion by participation in the race meeting in whatever capacity. consents to the examination.

search and inspection referred to above, and to the seizure of any hypodermic ayringa. hypodermic

needles or any other device des- cribed above, and all drugs and medicaments or any kind which might be thought by those con- ducting the I-xaminationsearch or inspection to be usable in such hypodermic syringe, hypodermic needle or device. The results of any examination. search, inspec- tion or seizure described in this Directive shall be promptly report- ed to the Commission in Writing by the person who ordered such examinatiomsearch or inspection."

The above rules are not in ef- fect at minor race meets held over small tracks in Ontario but they are in effect at tracks like Duf- ferln. Thorncliffe and all the larg- er meetings. We can easily see how a trainer going to a track like Dufferin if he were unfamil- iar with the ruins. might get into serious trouble through ssessio of c hypodermic syringe which is often part of the equipment of a stable and only used for medicinal and not stimulating purposes.

The highest priced horse in Can- ada to change hands in quite a long time is High Lee Baldwin, that took a record of 2.05 pacing in winning the Invitational Pace at Richelieu Park. Montreal. He has beaten some of the fastest pacers in Canada the past season and won over $11,000. The US. T. A. Year Book credits iilm with 25 wins. six seconds and four thirds in 40 starts for 1953. His owner, Lafe Morgan of Chatham. 0nt., received I. cheque of $18.00 from Jules Ste. Marie of Quebec City, in exchange for High Lee Baldwin.

Emmett Bernard is getting three head ready for the i954 campaign and expects to have another, a full sister to Mighty Dob. in his stable before long. He has his own trottor. Sunny B. 2.18 1/5. also Miss Don- na Mae 2.11 and Full Boost, avery promising four-year-old by Jollity 2.05 1/4. both owned by Harry Macintosh. saint John. NB. who is also the owner of the newcomer to Emmett's stable. All the horses are in splendid condition. having been raced on the ice the past winter and should make ll. good showing for the popular Hunter River reinsman.

The directors of Blue Bonnets Raceway, Montreal, where running races have been held for the past fifty years. have decided to oper- ate this year without. the runners. Lucien Chartrand, the General Manager. said that the directors had voted to drop the thorough- breds. They will operate in com- petition with Richelieu Park,which is situalcd at nearby Polnte aux Trembles, and plan on opening April 29rd. At Richelieu they are advertising the Invitation Pace and the Invitation Trot. with two of the largest purses ever raced for in Csnsda—sl5.000 for each. Dates for these races are yet to be arranged. Richelieu Park will open on April lath and continue through until November 15th with

morning. April 15, it is legal to wet I. line—just one, not two. I was up east the last of this week. The Bear River Road and the Souris Line Road were considered impassable. Tractors and lumber trucks have been busy and the formerly smooth gravel surface is gouged and criss-crossed with ruts two feet deep.

I talked to an ardent trout ﬁsh- erman on the Bear River Road. He expressed concern: “Unless the weather changes we'll not make it to Big Pond. Four of us got through last season after I. hard trip. We reached the Pond at day break and." he reminded me. “you remember what the opening morning was like last year. cold as Greenland with rain and snow". Yes, I well remember what the morning of April 15, 1953, was like. It's hard to figure trout out. He told me that despite the inclement. weather conditions the four or them left with 61 trout. Many of them were all in the heavyweight class. To quote his own words:
