lANll-illiT-YJ. 194.3- i942 Performances By Dludeyl Patch Are Outstanding Among Notable Past Racing Season Sees New Tracks Opened, Records’ Broken And Larger Attendances At Various Meets. _ (By D. A. MacK.) Once again we take pleasure in presenting to our readers our review of Maritime harness racing w1'th the outstanding happenings of the season of 1942. It was a great racing season with new tracks opened, greater attendances, new horses brought in and Maritime records broken. These included the pacing of 17 heats in 2,19 or better by Dudey Patch, 2.06, a feat never before accomplished by any Maritime-owned horse. The lowering of the Maritime-bred trotting record for mares owned 1n the Maritimes to 2.08 1-2 by Millie Kalmuck and the pac- ing ot a half in 1.00 8-4 by Chestnut Bars at. Charlottetown, REL-the fastest half ever stepped over a Maritime track by a Maritime-owned horse. New track records were made in all three provinces and a Canadian dead-heat record of 2.08 was set up by two of the Maritimes' greatest trotters. Notable, too, is the fact that two Maritime-owned horses, Chestnut Bars, 2.06, and Dudey Patch 2.06, in taking their new marks paced the two fastest heats we have record of in Canada this season. These are but a few of the many interesting haplltfll" ings that have caused our sport to not only maintain its popularity but to enhance it.

Rives over 110,000 as the probable num- bei- who witnessed harness horse pcriormances the past season. This exceed, by seine 10,000 the estimate 0i’ the previous year. 2.10 Miles Galore! We can all remember when a 2.10 mile on a. Maritime track was a rarity, but not so now, and the past season no less than o3 were trotted or paced in 2.10 or better. The New Glasgow owned pacer Dudcy Patel) zoo leads the parade with 17. the trotter Watchlm 2.07 is runner up with six. 'I'hirteen oi’ the 2.10 miles were stepped at Bridgewater, ll at Charlottetown, 8 st New Gfusgow, 5 each at Summerside and Truro. I at Amherst, two eimh at Monta- Iue. St. Stephen, North Sydney and Chstham. Millie Kslinuek, 2.03 1-2, Maritime Champion ‘isfistesl- teii or Faced! The tastest mile trotted or paced was that o! Chestnut Bars 2.06 when he paced the second heat of the Free for All at. Charlottetown August 13 in 2.06. and also paced in the same notch st St. Stephen August 2'1. Sharing honors with Chestnut Bars is Dudey Patch 2.06 who paced in 2.06 at Bridgewater, October 1. setting up a new track record. The fastest but trottad was the dead heat between Watchlm 2.07 and Squire Hanover 2.11 at Sum- merside, July 15, in the first heat 0i’ the No. 1 Classified race. ‘Ihey set up a new track trotting record oi 2.08 and came very close to the world's dead-heat trotting record on o. halt-mile track. New track records were made at some points, notably at New Glas- gow, Sept. 2, when Millie Knlmuck trotted in 2.08 l—2, and the pacing record was equalled by Dudey Patch stepping in 2.08. At Bridgewater, October 1. Dudey Patch set up a new track pacing record o! 2.06. At Summerside, July 15, a. new track trotting record was made when Watchlm 2.07 and Squire Hanover 2.11 went s dead heat in 2.08, and s new pacing record was made by Hal McKinney 2.06 1-4 on September 16 o! 2.09. New Bruns- wick had one track record broken, at St. John, October l2 when All Grattsn 2.06 1-4 paced in 2.11 1-2. Maritime Record Brolenl The Maritime record tor Marl- tiine bred trotting mares was low- cred to 2.08 l-2 by Millie Kalmuck. owned and driven by Willard Kelly, Southport, st New Glasgow, Sept- ember 2. The iormer record o1 2.00 1-2 was made by Millie Kalmudk last season. In stepping the New Glasgow mile in 2.08 l~2 Millie also equalled the trotting record tor Maritime bred mares regardless where made, equalling Gwendolyn Aubrey‘; record o1 2.00 1-2 at Lew- lston, Maine, in 1032. The Maritime record for Marl- tims bred pacing mares o! 2.06 l-2 is held by Josie the Great (driven by Johnny Conroy) made st Wood- stock, September 23, 1938. New Speed Brought In! New race horses were brought to the Maritimes and most or them made good. Among those we can recall are Chestnut Bars, that low- ered his record to 2.06 at Charlotte- town. Highiaud Worthy 2.03. Hal McKinney 2.06 l-4, Victor Lee 2.07. Reuben Lee 2.10, H. M. Volo 2.11 3-4 and Jacob Withrow 3, 2.14 1-2.

Upper Stewiacke, N. S, who was a pron)- inc-nt breeder and raced s. stable both in the Marltimes and 011 the Grand Circuit.
