The Guardian, Charlottetown, Sat., Sept. 18, 1965. 9 SPORTS FRONT Walter Craig Displays. Skill By JIM CULLEN The harness racing season is drawing to a close at the Charlottetown Driving Park with the approach of the cold weather. We would like to take this cgpertapity to acknow- ledge the driving and training feats of Walter Craig at the local race track this summer. The thing that we feel makes Walter Craig one of the best horsemen at the local park in his ability to care for a horse as well as handle @ set of reins with a skill that ranks him among the best. The limelight escaped Craig at the CDP on numerous oc- casions as he didn’t have any of the top free-for-allers under his care. Walter drove Hurrah owned by =lmer Ferguson at the beginning of the season and handled the big horse well, but Elmer's son Jack took over the driving duties about mid-way through the current campaign. Craig has doné a good job of remoulding horses that were not. up to par before he started taking care of them. Chief's Gal owned by J. M. Williams, Charlottetown was never sound till this summer and Craig teamed the Williams-owned horse to a double dash victory Thursday night with a mile in 2:10 and a bit The veteran reinsman teamed Abner C to the winner's | circle in 2:11 this year and the horse's best time last summer | was 2:14 Sunny King is another horse that has prospered under the guiding hands of Walter Craig. His best mile last year was 2:10.2 and he has been a trip in 2.08.3 this summer as well as earning $1,089. which is aproximately $300 more than he earned in the previous campaign. At the present time Walter nas Bonnie Jack owned by Doug | Hill, Charlottetown, under his care. This horse was purchased as a-potential free-for-aller, but has been acting up a bit and Craig is: attempting to get the Hill-owned three-year-old to perform up to par. ‘ : Walter is a familar sight around- the “Charlottetown park with a tool box and his fellow horsemen have a lot of respect - his ability to shoe a horse. Very few horsemen can do as | many things for a horse as ‘Craigie’ is capable of. | Tid Bits From Here And There. High Price owned by Ray and Larry Davidson, Char- lottetown is a horse that is being talked ahout plenty by the “ followers of the pecars and trotters at the Charlottetown racing oval. This is a five-year-old horse that hadn’t been to the races (with the exception of the colt’ stakes) till this year. . Francis Macisaac has been. training and driving the Davidson-owned horse and has done a very commendable job. When Maclsaac got this horse he hadn’t been a mile in better than 2:20 and the youthfal reinsman has piloted the Price Tag horse to at least three new marks this year. Maclsaac is new to the racing circuit. He just obtained The Summerside high school team has been practicirg twice weekly for the past mine days in preparation for the opening of the four-te am provincial interscholas- tic league season which gets underway October 2nd.
