Pace named after him at Exeter night
Tom Yearley honored tonight
By JiM FITZGERALD.
Veteran Exeter area
harness horseman. Thomas
Yearley. will be honored at
the first of three hyo -light
race meets starting tonight,
July 13 at the Clinton Kin-
smen Raceway.
Mr Yearley ,.83, has been
connected with harness
racing for 60 years as an
owner, driver and trainer
and just gave up active
participation in the sport in
1976 when he stopped
training at the Exeter track.
Born and raised on a farm
in Stephen Township, Mr.
Yearleyhas been involved
with standardbred horses
since 1917, when he traded
his horse and buggy with a
hired man down the road for
a pacer called Koy Grattan.
He took Roy to Goderich in.
July of that year, won the $80
first prize, and has never
looked back.
After a race in Mitchell in
1918. Mr. Yearley sold Roy,
who went on to become one
of Canada's great pacers,
just barely losing one par-
ticular race in 1:59 In 1922:
Over the last six decades,
Mr. Yearley has owned and
raced many great horses,
including Louie Grattan,
who went on to become the
world champion pacing
mare in 1920, taking a mark
of 2:00 for the mile.
Mr. Yearley remembers
well the Dominion Day in
1918 when he raced Louie in
Goderich. It snowed! In
Rade $haek
A DIVISION OF TANDY ELECTRQNICS LIMITED
AUTHORIZED SALES CENTRE
those days, Mr. Yearley
Would drive his horse The 35
miles from Crediton to
Goderich one day, race the
next, and then drive back the
third day.
All races until the late
1950's were t;onducted at one
or two-day fairs, and the
horses had to go three races
a day to get any money.
Even at that, the winning
horse took home only 40
percent of the purse, which
seldom topped the $1.000
mark even for the best horse
That kind of racing was.
tough on horses. but Mr.
Yearley owned and drove
one of the tougher ones,
Amber Grattan, who won 49
out 01 62 heats id five mon-
ths, between May 24 and
October 22 in 1949. in fact.
