Local 'Horses Give
Good Performances
at Twilight Meet
The twilight race meet held here
on Wednesday, evening of last week
seemed to -impress the rtiee goiag
public as one of the hest in o long
Discussion eoncerning the
merits ot various local horses and
drivers is still _going on and with
several more meets contemplated
for the Goderich track this summer
interest seems to be at its highest
peak since the gloriousadayS ofethe
thirties.
• Not just one, but several local
horses stole the spotlight 4)11 Wed-
nesday. -
Former ‘OWner Drives
Just • Teddy, the five-year-old
Pr front Findlay 'Santis' -stable
%vas the firstto take the fancy
of the crowd. This horse was a
Standout as a three-year-old,' bta
failed to show anything last season.
!This year his former owner, -Bruce
Bradley, took over the training of
the horse and on 'Wednesday
climbed into the sulky to drive him.
Bruce had driven in only one other
race in his life, but he pilo.ed
Teddy like a veteran and the pacer
showed that he had enough Of his
old speed to. reepond. In the first
heat of the mon-winners of '$2000
class he was fifth at the quarter
pole, but Inid taken the lead _ by
the half and was never headed.
Scarcelytuoe surprising was -the
showing of Reg Me° .Ws pacer,
Bildad. Bought- from American in-
terestsaain- late .4950, this horse
showed little to warrant: his oats
last season. However, ably trained
:and driven by 18 -year-old Ron Mc-
Gee, Bildad finished second and first
in the non -winners of $2000 class
and. demonstrated that he will be
a nag to contend with this year.'
'Huron Express„ the speedy pacer
owned by Bill. and Jack Gardner,
both pleased and disappointed his
followers on Wedneeday., Ile won
the first heat .handily, but 'made a
break at the start of the seven('
heat and got away last. It was
evident that driver Bill didn't want
to push the Express this early in
the season, -after he had started
so badly, so .his position of fifth
wasn't disappointing in itself. What
muses bOth owners and followers
some anxiety is that the big gelding
might make the stiffie mistake in
some important race later in the
season.
Outstanding Horse
Probably the outstanding horse
of the meet was Walter G., Santis'
four-year-old pacer. This horse
was shoved into the free-for-all
as a last minute replacement for
another Santis entry- and was given
little chance of winning by bettors
Or non -bettors. He finished a fast -
closing ,fourth in the first heat and
then showed his class in the second
heat by leading the field all the
way to win in the time of 2.11 1/5,
ahnost two seconds better than his
previous mark. With three wins in
four starts already this year, the
fans are • wondering how far this
classy pacer will go.
11111 Gardner's Prineess Betty
looked very good in winning the
second heat of her class. Site
broke at the, start of the first .heat
but managed to finish- fourth.
Another local horse that appears
to have it future is Ima Chips, the
three-year-old mare owned and
driven by Bud Jerry. With the
colt in competition, for the first
time. Bud was content with n fifth
