A three-year-old pacing ' colt
from GoOeriell may prove to be
one on the greatest bargains in

H. A. keadowlands scored a
sfunning upset in winning the
$14.760 historic Canadian Pacing
Derby at Greenwood Raceway
in Toronto Saturday night. •
He is a bay son of Meadow
Lands — Linda Brewer, which
Ron Feagan and his grandfath-
er', George, of Goderieh, pur-
chased as a yearling for $1,300.
A crow4 of 12,470 saw Ron,
24 -year-old''' Canadian driving
champion,; turn on a tremendous
burst of speed at the head of
the stretch to register a neck
victory over Timely Knight,
driVen by Marcel Dostie from
kr. and Mrs. Allan LaBlane's
Quebec City stable. ' Third, a
length and one-half further back
in the seven -horse field, was
Woodlawn Dru.m.mond, from the
Drummond Stable, .,-Dru,mmend-
ville, Que.
Then came Golden Blend, Tac-
tile, the three -to -five favorite.
Dancing David and Jerry Hal,
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Langford, of Chatham, winner
of the race last year.
But H. A. 'Meadowland's spark-
ling victory is only part of the
story. , The colt paced the mile
in 2.00 1-5., the fastest trip in
Canada this year. .Moreover, his
tinte was the speediest ever pac-
ed in a race in Ontario.
It was a new track record.
The best previous time for the
track was .2.01 2,5 by Bert Han-
over on July 22.
The fractions for 'the race
were ,30 1.5 for the quarter,
for three-quarters.
.The triumph, was worth -$7,880.
It boosted. his bankroll for the
year to $17,640. As a tWo-year-
old, A. Meadowland earned
$19.832 -
He returned $35.50 to win.

form of virus soon after he won
a race at Philadelphia's Liberty
tell, June 25 and was out of
training for several weeks. It
was only within the past month
that he began to be jogged and
worked again.
"I'm bringing him along slow-
ly," Ron said two weeks ago,"
and. I don't expect to race him
for a' while yet. A week ago
Saturday, H. A. Meadowland was
worked in just over 2.06, indieat-
ing he was rounding to form.
But Ron still .didn't feel he
could beat such bearcats as
Dancing David, with five sub -
two -minute Miles this year, Tac-
tile, second to the great Bert
Hanover in a race on August 12,
and Timely Knight, second and
fourth in recent razes against
Bert.
"He (H. A. Meadowland) won't
be disgraced," Ron said before
Saturday's race, "but I think he
needs two or three races under
his belt before he can beat these
horses. Even if he • was right,
he'd still be in a tough race."
Feagan reined him superbly.
The colt came out of the sixth
slot and Feagan immediately,
tr)ok him back and moved to
the rail, as Dancing David, with
North America's leading team-
woodl Ohio, 'took the lead.
Dancing -DaVid stayed on top
until the turn for home when he
suddenly began to fade and

briefly. Fifty yards from the
wire, Tactile, with Johnny Chap-
man in the sulky, loomed boldly
hetween hones and got his nose
in front only to drop back be-
cause as Chapman later explain-
er: "We hooked wheelers with
somebody:"
Meanwhle, H. A. Weadow-
land, who began to molie at the
three-quarter pole, had got up
to fifth at the turn for home.
Midway through the stretch he
was passiing horses as if they
were standing still and in a neck -
and -neck duel with Timely
Knight won at the wire.
Ron, speaking calmly after
the race despite his obvious in-
ner excitement and elation, laud-
ed the horse, his grandfather
George, and his father, Keith.
"They're the ones responsible
-for my success," he said.
. "I was luckyoto win the race.
I did feel I had a chance at the
head of the stretch, but I didn't
want to hurt the colt." .
Feagan planned Insjace strat-
egy well.
"I thought I would stick close
to Timely Knight and hoped to
third or fourth. "When
he made his move, I went right
along behind and was lucky
enough to beat him."

horseman, it was his greatest

More Careful Cattle Handling
Challenge To Beef Producers
Cattle and carcass buyers at-
tending the Ontario Beef Im-
Provement Association field day
in July at the ,Ontarip 4gri-
cultural College, Univdrsity of
Guelph, offerted 150 beef pro-
ducers a new challenge. Avoid
the cuts and bruises to hides and
carcasses.
.e6whide is the packer's
most important by-product,"
said Peter Stewart, president
of Wicket and Craig Ltd., To-
ronto." "In other words, the hide
is second only to the meat in
dollars and cents value to the
packer. At the moment, a heavy
hide of about 70 pounds cests
the tanner about five to six per
cent of the total price, paid for
a 1,050 -pound steer."
A clean, sunblemished carcass
is rare. Brands located in the
choice middle of the carcass,
holes due to mange and warble
grub, and weak' points in the
hide resulting from bruises, and
urine and maniire stains are
costing feedlot operators, pack-
ers, and tanners millions of
dam, annually. To• have a
future large market for leather,
quality must be improved. Shoe

manufacturers are continually
comparing the cutting yield they
get from leather to the perfect
cutting they get from synthetics.
The head cattle buyer for J.
M. Schneider Ltd., Gordon C.
Newton, also advised beef pro-
ducers at the meeting of the
profits they were losing due to
carcass damage. "There is
nothing worse than seeing a
damaged beef carcass, perfect in
conformation and finish, but
marked with ugly red welts and
gouged out pieces making it to-
ly unsalable. When cattle go
on feed, they go into a feedlot
andore treated like kings. They
are needled and pelleted, given
ointments, rations, and allowed
to scratch their backs with oil-
ers. But how many producers,
when shipping Out cattle, have
every thought how these beef
carcasses will look?
"For instance," Mr. •Newton
continued, "the following steps
might be taken when cattle are
shipped to an auction sale.
Cattle are picked up and loaded
,by a trucker in a pick-up= truck
and taken to a truckers' as-
sembly yard. They are unloade.d
and put in a pen with strange
cattle, sorted at times by inex-
perienced help, They are put in
pens, often much too small to
hold them all, and sorted again.
They are left there for a few
hours and sorted by the buyer's
trucker. Then they are loaded
onto a trailer again with strange
cattle and trucked perhaps long
diatances, unloaded at the pack-
ing plant, and sorted and yarded
for the final time. Is it any won-
der bruising takes place'?
"It ,would be stupid of me to
say we can eliminate it all to-
gether, because so long as 'we
have livestock that have to be
trucked, handled, and marketed,
we will have these problems.
However, the situation can be
improved if we beth (produeers
and packers) use the oldest
means of communication to
exert our influence—word of
mouth. Truckers and commis-
sion men can't get along with-
out you, your livestock, and buy-
ers with orders. Keep telling
these people that bruising costs
money and if they •can't handle
cattle better, you will have t9
make other arrangementsi.':
