'They're off
Harness racing enthusiasts in Huron county are in
for a busy summer with action on two fronts each
week.
. The Clinton Kinsmen Raceway has already held
two Sunday afternoon -meets and the re -opening of the
Goderich track takes place tonight. Thursday.
The Goderich track was dark for the 1978 racing
season owing to the closing of the grandstand by
provincial authorities.
Jack Morrissey. racing secretary for the Goderich
meet tells us Thursday's 10 race card is completely
filled and some of the top pacers, in the province will
be in action 9`
No less than 22 of the best three year-old pacersgo
in three divisions for prize money totalling more than
$17.000
Two locally owned horses will be in the running
for top honours in Goderich Thursday. They are
Dangerfield Bruce and Blackbro Garken.
Dangerfield Bruce. owntid by Dave Morrisey of
Ailsa Craig and Peter Oud. Kippen has gone a mile un-
der two minutes several times this year and should be
"a sure thing". if. there is such a thing in racing.
The other local entrant is Blackbro Garken, the
property of Ken Blackler of St. Marys -and Garth
Blackler of-Kirkton. This colt has several wins to his
credit at Western Fair raceway in London this
summer
Only last Monday night he was a winner in just a
fraction over two minutes and three seconds. A week
or two earlier he was second to Bill Habkirk's good
pacer Camper's Scamp. who will also be in Goderich.
.Terry Kerr will be driving Blackbro Garken.
Other entered in Thursday's three divisions which
will go as the fifth. seventh and tenth races are
Arrochar Mist. Autumn Glow. Bold Zip. Devon's
Scout. and Jumbo Dynasurge. '
The following Thursday night. JLtly 12 an Ontario;
Sire Stakes race for two year-old trotters will be held
at the Goderich track which now sports a brand new
grandstand.
Quite a number of Sire Stakes events are schedul-
ed for the two local tracks for the balance of the
summer. This coming Sunday. the Clinton program
will feature an O.S.S: three year-old filly pace.
Some of the best three year-old trotters were in
Clinton this past Sunday and drew a large crowd and
helped produce one of the best betting handles the
Clinton track has ever enjoyed.
The 1.600 fans in attendance poured slightly more
than $92.000 through the mutuel machines. This in only
$4.000 less than the all-time Clinton record.
One of the upset winners in Clinton Sunday was
Brisk Knight. a 13 year-old gelding owned and driven
by the Woodham area's most enthusiastic racer
Robert Rundle.
RTlndle. better known in his junior hockey days as
Jim brought Brisk Knight to the finish line first at
better than 17 to one odds for the gelding's second 14n
in it's last 22 starts!
Good exercise ,r
This writer is_ one that needs to take heed of the
following advice that is going to be passed on in the
next few paragraphs.
After a large number of banquets during the last
couple of months weight has again become a slight
problem
One of the best modes of exercise is walking and it
also continues to be the most enjoyable and popular
form of_physical activity.
Following'are some hints on walking properly and
the right equipment to be used which we gleaned from
a recent column in the Toronto Globe and Mail written
by physical fitness consultant Peter Elson.
"First. the shoes. The best walking shoes have a
vibram sole and a flexible upper. Buy them in. the
evening as feet have a tendency to swell during the
day
Use shoes that have a lace dr strap. Negative
heels and clogs are out. Shoes: with heels higher than
one and a half inches make the wearer susceptible to
ankle injuries or ship sprints.
The number one injury associated with walking is
blisters so take the following hints.
Make sure your shoes fit. Wear cotton socks,
which not only absorb sweat but also minimize fric-
tion between the shoe and foot. thus preventing
blisters.
Don't wear nylon. which has no breathing capaci-
ty. If possible. carry an extra pair of socks and change
whenever your feet show any signs of being wet.
Enjoyment of walking also_ depe ttt�og,.
that) Thin it ' �e,'bo and
colour. Always carry a Tight bag or sack for extra
clothes.
Carry water if you are not going to be near a
water source during an extended walk. A good drink is
often thj' antidote needed for tired feet.
If you have any foot -related problems. see a
• podiatrist or similarly trained physician."
Need new system
Each year when the major league baseball all-star
voting results comeoin, so do the complaints.
The method of voting by the fans is far from the
best.
It seems the clubs with the best crowds get more
players named to the all-star teams.
At the mdment, Roy Smalley. Rod Carew,'Bruce
Bochte. Brian Downing and Steve Kemp are the
leading hitters in the American league.
Carew, who is inactive because of injw'ie9 is the
only one of the five with any chance of being named to
a starting position.
Wouldn't the American league have a better
chance if they were able to use their top batters?
Needless to say, they need all the power they can
muster to upset the tables on the National league who
have been consistent winners of late.
