Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1978-06-22, Page 10Page 10 Times-Advocate, June 22,1978 Spotlight® Races start The first of 18 harness race meets at the Clinton Raceway opens this Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Last year the Clinton Kinsmen built a new $250,000 modern grandstand and betting area and now boasts one of the finest facilities on the “B” racing circuit. In addition to the 15 Sundays until October 1, Clin ton officials have planned twilight racing on an ex perimental basis on three consecutive Thursdays. The twilight races will be held July 13, 20 and 27. The first of 10 heats will get underway at 5:15 p.m. The first twilight race on July 13 will be designated as Exeter night when veteran local racer Tom Yearley will be honoured at a trackside ceremoney. One of the races that evening will be called the Tom Yearley pace and he will be on hand to present a blanket to the winner. The new racing secretary at the Clinton Raceway is Moe Hill and he is no stranger to harness racing. For the last 10 years, Moe has been a farrier at nearly a dozen tracks across Ontario, and has seen the bottoms of literally thousands of horses hooves in these years. Moe, 38, who is a native of the small hamlet of Varna, just a few miles south of Clinton, is well-known to hundreds of Ontario harness horsemen, and has worked as a keeper of horse shoes at Windsor Raceway, Western Fair in London, Flamboro, as well as a host of smaller “B” circuit and fair tracks. He tutored this spring under Western Fair raceway secretary Terry Provost at London, and in May passed his Ontario Racing Commission exams with flying colors. “Race horse people are the best I know,’’ said Moe.

Geoffrion better known as “Boom-Boom” during his many years with the Canadiens had just learned that his son Danny a star left winger with the Cornwall Royals had been drafted by Montreal. If young Geoffrion makes the Canadiens it would be the first time three generations have played for the same team. The first of this great family combination was the Mitchell Meteor Howie Morenz. His daughter is Mrs. Bernie Geoffrion. Extra special event The annual chicken barbecue in Crediton will this year afford some special entertainment. The barbecue SDonsored by the Crediton Parks Board will be held Saturday and followed by an exhibition softball game. The competing teams will be the Crediton Cowgirls and members of the Crediton volunteer fire department. We know that the cowgirls are one of the better girls ball teams in the area, but, the calibre of ball to be offered by the firefighters we will leave to your im agination. Firemen coach Eric Finkbeiner told us over the weekend that his club will have a few surprises, if, the girls appear to be getting the upper hand. Eric will probably bring along a couple of fire hoses to put out any rallies by the girls. The Cowgirls are coached by Robert Pertschy, Darryl Finkbeiner and Byron Clarke. The girls may be expected to have little trouble with any pitching offered by the firemen, but, we are sure they have never seen anything like the spinning balls which will be served up by firemen hurler Alf Smith. The Kirkton midget girls fastball lost their first game of the season Monday night to St. Marys by a score of 6-5. The winning run came in the bottom of the seventh. In their other outing this week, the Kirkton girls swamped Dublin 13-3. In the loss to St. Marys Kelly Kernick led the Kirkton batters with a triple and single. Patti Down delivered a double ‘ and singles came from the bats of Sheila Penhale, Kim Heather, Julianne MacLean, Pam Johnson, and Bonnie Westlake. Patti Down on the mound for Kirkton gave up seven hits to St. Marys. Three Kirkton errors in the third inning allowed St. Marys to score three runs. Patti Down allowed only one base hit in the 13-3 win over Dublin and struck out 15 opposing batters. She also led her team at the plate with two hits. Adding singles were Sue Schaefer, Lori Iredale, Kim Heather and Sheila Penhale. Ladalia Hanover off to good year An area owned three year- old pacer is off to a good start in the 1978 racing season. Ladalia Hanover owned by Dave Morrisey of Ailsa Craig and Peter Oud, RR 3, Kippen won her last start Sunday night in the Niagara Pacing Stake at Mohawk Raceway. Ladalia Hanover driven by trainer Dennis Morrissey covered the mile distance in two minutes and four-fifths of a second. In 12 starts this year, she has six wins, • four seconds and one third for total ear nings of $25,628. Ladalia Hanover is staked in Canada and United States for the Grand Circuit three year-old filly pace. She won $36,384 as a two year-old.
