BACK STRETCH

The racing season hero is get- ting into its stride with matinees at Kensington and Alberton and a big night race program at the Charlottetown oval this evening. Large crowds of fans are out ev- ery morning and afternoon watch- ing workouts and trainers and grooms are getting equipment and sulkies ready for the fray. It should be the best night race pro- gram ever put on here and it would certainly take a smart horseman to pick the winners. T'he recently arrived PJ. Cadegan stable from Glace Bay will make the Free For All very interesting with Carl Frisco 2.03, Filbert 2.09, Josedaie Hoosier 2.07, and Vella la Vella 208 1-5 as entrants. The trot with Lusticia 2.13, Baron 2.11, Walt N'- See 2.14, Kelly's Nightmare 2.12 and Nell Kalmuck 2.10 will be a. hummer. Lwsticia has worked a mile in 2.16 3/5 with the first half better than 1.07. Baron hss been in 2% 1/5, Wait N’ See 2.20 1-5, Kelly's Nightmare in 2.22 and Nell Kalmuck in 2.20 1/5. Then there is an excellent class with the fol- lowing and their workout times — Eleanor G. 2.19, Dale B. — no line on him -— Mis Knox 2.21, Johnny Kaimuck no l/5, Roy Shelburne 221 1/5, Billy McVay 2.21 2-5, Pearl Burnpas 2m 2/5.

Here is another class that will furnish some thrills - Bee Bud- long worked in 2.22, Bob Canuck in 2.2.2 2-5, Dudy Budlong in 2.22 8-5, Ohio Hal and Mollie Bars, Shirley H. Temple in 2.20 3-5, Reu- ben Lee in 222 and Billy Conn. The following is a single dash event with workouts — Just A Gift in 2.21, Happy Vernon 2.25 3-5, Calumet Onward in 225 2-5, New Look 225 2-5, Buck P.C. Grattan, Random Harvest in 2.5 2-5, Rho- Dola-D 221 2-5, Little Millie 2.26 2-5. The above miles of course are no measure of the speed capac- ity of the different entries. All will race from one to five seconds faster than training performances.

The fastest mile to date over a Maritime track this season that we are aware of was paced by Bow- den Square in the 218-221 class at Moncton Wednesday afternoon when he headed Peter Budlong, Jessica Direct 2nd and five others ‘in straight heats, best time 2.11 3/5, which is a new record. Bowden Square was raced last. sea- son under the ownership of Stan Cleary, North Sydney, winning five dashes and taking a record of 2.14 4/5 and ended the season elig- ible to the 2.23 class. Judging by his performance on Wednesday he is a much improved pacer and certainly a good one in his class.

For a brief conversation the trainers we learned the follow- ing workouts this week . . . Etarle sample's Stable - Mary Merk 2Z1, Guy Aubrey 2.18, Kentucky Derby 2.18, Guy Aubrey is a 13-year-old trotter whose light has been hidden under a bushel until last winter when he showed his heels to some of the best trotters and pacers over the ice. Arriving here a coup- ite of weeks ago he showed a lot of ‘step the first time he appeared on the track and Tuesday afternoon ‘was timed in 2.18. It looks as though he will trot in 2.14 or bet- ter a-s he finished very fast. An- other improved member oi Earle's stable is the pacer Kentucky Derby that he brought from Maine last fall. This horse worked a handy mile in 2.18 Thursday and is eligible to any class. Other work- outs were Worthy Ermine 2.23 3/5, Mary's Delight 2.24 3/5, Soldier Budlong 2.24 2/5, Buster C. 221, Sonny B. 2.26, Meudene Budlong (G. Agnew) 223.

During the week super-salesman Rollie Wood. acting for patrons in Nova Scotia and the United Statu, put through sales of three pacers. To Dr. J.A. Donahoe, ‘Iruro. NS. he transferred the pacer Dudy Budlong 2.13 4/5. bay mare by Cal- umet. Budlong 2.02%, dam Dude Potempkin 2.09%. She is eligible i’! the 2.26 pace and with her breed- fng and known speed should take a fast record. She goes into Lloyd O'Brien's stable and makes her first start in new ownership to- night. Dudy was given all her training and racing by Harold Stead, Brsckley, who was loath to part with her but a substantial cheque did the business. To Ed

with '

Haley, Antlgonish, Rollie sold Gingerbread Man, that paced a mile in 228 last. Saturday and had previously stepped in 2.36 on the trot. He is extremely well bred, be- ing by Calumet Budlong and out of e. mare with excellent ancestry. Gingerbread Man was purchased last fail by Sam Kennedy from George l-1. Buntain and has been in Sam's stable ever since.

Probably the most important sale that Rollie has ever put through and one that came with startling suddenness was the transfer from Walter Hennesscy of Charlotte- town, to Joe O'Brien, Roosevelt Raceway, of Kavola. 2.06%. This mare is one of the best bred in the world. Her sire is Volomite 2.03% and her dam Kahla Dillon 2.03%. winner of the Transylvania. one of the richest stakes on the Grand Circuit. Kavola was brought here for Old Home Week, 1945, by Wil- liam McGibbon of St. Stephen, and many will remember the 2.19 Trot and Pace, Aug. 18th. The starters were Kavola, Tracey Hanover -— on the trot -- O.U. Voio, Wait N’ See, Baron, Uhl Abbe. The first heat Kavola and Tracey Hanover raced as a team all the last half and fin- ished heads apart in 2.08, which is Kavolejs half-mile track record. The second heat was another bit- ter fight with Kavola winning in 2.11%. In the third heat Kavola had to take outside position scor- ing, but all the last half it was the closest possible kind of a race with Tracey Hanover winning and taking a new trotting record of 2.10. O.U. Voio was 3-3-3, Wait N‘ See 4-6-4, Baron 5-4-6, Uhl Abbe 6-5-5.

Just after the Covehead races that fall Alcyone 2.08 and Kavola 2.06% were sold to PR. MoGormac of Charlottetown. Since then she has raced exceptionally well over various Maritime tracks. 1M5 W!" son in the stable of Walter Hen- nessey and driven by Joe Hennes- scy. She won seven heats and $1,184., her total winnings now make her eligible to the 2.15 pace. She ls Ln perfect condition and should do well at Roosevelt Race- way and afterwards be a most val- uable brood mare.

The General Electric engineers claim it will be the best lighted track in eastern Canada and will have ev- ery adjunct necessary to the com- fort of patrons and horsemen.

‘rho league-leading Abegweitg and the Summer-side 3,0,5}, squad will meet in a regular Island Baseball League fixture at Memor- ial Field as the main sporting at- traction on Sunday afternoon, with the same scheduled to get under- way at 2230.

This will be the third meeting of the two clubs since the schedule opened. with the “ies earning two very 6105c c" ns over the R.C.A.F. nine ..- their first struggles. Tne locals took the first in a sensational 2-1 victory

With the Westerners eager to break into the win column tnrnor- row and the Abbies dust as intent on increasing their strangle hold on the league leadership. the battle between these two evenly matchld squads should make the Sunday game a natural for an action- packed affair.

Although it is likely that ihe air- men will use their ace hurler Miokus on the mound, and the Ab- bles will probably start either MaeAleer or smith, there was nothing definite forthcoming from either camp last night.

Sea trout are beginning to work their way up our fresh- water streams and the tempo of trout fishing is expected to step up ac- cordingly. 'I‘o date they appear to be hovering near the head of tide and have not yet ventured up- stream to their favourite fresh water pools.
