Lee put_on.a royal performance at Charlottetown Driving Park. That’ was the afternoon George Callbeck reined the Willard Mac- Donald-Rankine MacLaine speedster to a new record at the local rating oval. Mighty Lee paced his second mile in 2.03:4, a new mark for himself and a new record for the Charlottetown track. Before this he had 2-2 in the Walter Dale pace at Frederic- | ton and in the Monctonian he came through with a 1-3 summary and his mile of 2.05:3 was the best of the evening. ; HERE AT Charlottetown Mighty Lee proved far too good for the competition he encountered and after Old Home Week he took - full second of his stride. 9% shapes up like one of the greatest free-for-alls ever off for Halifax and a crack at the other top pacers in the-Mari- times. However at Sackville Downs his success was anything but sensational and Island horse racing fans could hardly beliéve that Mighty Lée was losing with such regularity. However des- pite his losses he continued to draw the crowds to see him race and there were the faithful ones who insisted he would again hit ae And he did Monday night at the very- same.

But now ' that he has come through so brilliantly, he once again becomes -the greatest race attraction in the seaside provinces. JACK CRUICKSHANK; president of Sackville Downs, should Indeed be smiling after this one and tlie reason for the big grin undoubtedly the thought of the Colonel Dan pace which is to be ‘paced at Sackville Downs on Saturday September 26. : : Jack is assured of having all the great pacers pack with him this outstanding classie. And they surely are a lot of greats unpredictable = . Henry — ig undoubt here. Walter captured Monctonian Stakes. Then ae ine Dave Grattan who won the $3,000 B.C. ' Cruick- shank Memorial Pace a couple of weeks ago. Add to those the Hirsch mare, Fancy Queen, who had the best summary in Mon- day night’s race and equalled the’ track record in winning that first dash. You can be sure that Convair will be among the en- trants and, Francis Breau’’s great pacer has been just about the most consistent free-for-aller around Sackville Downs this season. | And then, of course, there will be Mighty -Lee. probably the most exciting race horse ever to come to the Maritimes. Yes, Mighty Lee has done quite a few things since. coming down our way. He has got himself a new.race record. 2.03:4; he has hung that same mark up as -the Charlottetown Driving Park’ record and he has dropped the Halifax track record to a neat 2.04. Those are indeed accomplishments that are hard to equal. . - ps 4 this Jonel Dan feature at Halifax on September AND SO this Co! hee gong Maritimes. The stage is set for a dramatic performance and you can be pretty sure that’s just what {it will be. , Mighty Lee may not emerge the victor but at least mainland. ‘ pace golfers know that all the rave notices we gave him were not just so much filler. He has surely proved he is a great per- former afid- both Halifax and Charlottetown track records stand as monuments to his ability. WE HAVE RECEIVED a kind invitation. from Mr. -Cruick shank to be his guest for this big race. We certainly intend to ac- cept the offer and be among the thousands who will watch this classic. j It should be a great one. : THE DISASTROUS FIRE at the local racing ‘plant has left the future of racing for this season pretty well up in the air. The pari-mutuel setup, has been just about wiped oyt and that means serious trouble as far-as racing any more this summer ts concerned However. although the machines for selling tickets would not be available any more in 1959, there_still is_a chance that some more racing could go on with the old system back ir vogue. “However, the casiner windows are all. destroyed and the-werk ing cuarters of manv, of the pari-mutuel staff are no more There’are problems that would have to be straightened out if the - pevers and-trotters are to show their stuff any more here this seacnn. ? mee Richt now. the outlook for more racing here in 1959 is indeed ‘disma! but'vou can never tell what arrangements might be made All we can do is wait and see .

Then we must not overlook the | Mighty Lee and driver George Calibeck that was racing at a disadvantage in his first start at Sackville Downs, where he went away in the second tier.
