Speedy Clip, owned by Art Maskell of Goderich, with Don Larkin on the bike for trainer Ron Swartz, lowered his record from 2.10.1 to 2.06.1 for his second win from two lifetime starts. By the Good Time sire Fast Clip -Ada Guin by Adios Paul, the four-year-old pac- ing gelding is a half-brother to Pleasant -Rodger p,2.00.2. Randy McLean was fourth in the same race with Ames Shadow for Jean and Ben Feagan of Goderich, while Frank MacDonald was fifth. with Centinare for May and Walter Pepper of Clinton.

Miss Kelly Rose took a new record of 2.03.3 last year at Flamboro Downs, when -from 40 starts she had seven wins, nine seconds and four thirds, good for earnings of $10,200. G.F. Dillon took a new 2.08.1 trotting record for his third win this year with John Muir up for partners Vic Hargreaves of Brucefield and Barry Miller of Kirkton.

Kawartha Navy finished second with Randy McLean- driving cLeandriving for trainer . Jean Feagan of Goderich and ..owner Bill Armstrong of Rexdale. Toscani) Hi, a four-year- old pacing son of the Capetown sire Arrnbro Knox-Alexene Hi by Seawor- thy, made his first lifetime start a winning effort when he crossed the wire first in 2.12.4. Ron Williamson drove Toscano Hi for trainer J. McLeod and owner Joe J. Lane of Seaforth. Finishing second was the two-year-old grey Smog fil- ly, Donelda Dodger, owned by Don and Kevin Carter of Blyth, with Ray McLean up in her first start.

Jef- frey Hi, a half-brother to Toscano Iii finished second, while Randy McLean -was third driving Ripple Ridge. John Muir of Seaforth finished second in a 2.10 mile with his Quick Almahurst, while Dennis Jewitt was I have just firiished reading a book that I would not hesitate tot recommend to anyone. It would be of special' interest to the fisherman as it captures the moods and frustrations of this sport exceptionally well, but even the non -fisherman will find itenthralling and informative. It's called "Fisherman's Summer" by Roderick Haig -Brown. This is the first book I've ever read by Haig -Brown, but it certainly, won't be the last. Published in 1959 by William Collins Sons and Co., Toronto, "Fisherman's Summer" is only one of a series of books written by Haig -Brown and deals with • his belived Campbell River in British Columbia. The Campbell, once a free running river, was the object of a hydro electric power development that saw several massive dams constructed along its length. "Fisherman's Summer" , details the effects of these dams on the spawning runs of salmon, rainbows, and cutthroats from the eye of a master angler Oddly enough, Haig -Brown makes some astute observations and offers some solutions to problems which we think are unique to -this day and age. Twenty years, it seems, has had little impact on the way the "people in,power" think. If you happen across a book by Roderick Haig - Brown, and if it's anything like "Fisherman's Spring", you won't go too far wrong by buying it, Let me know if you decide to get rid of it, as I'm bound to be a good candidate. 'After this first one, I plan on reading his complete series just as soon as I can. +++• It's surprising to most people, but the bottom line is that Zebco sells more rods than any other company in North America. There are other names that spring to mind when fishing rods are discussed, but the bottom line is that Zebco is right in there doing its thing quietly and efficiently. There is a guuu reason int 7.e -two's puinden ity. That is excellent quality at a very competitive price. They ---offer four distinct series of rods with 45 different choices in spinning and spin cast models, so there is the perfect rod for everyone. The newest line in Zebco rods is their Formula Z Series which is made with a proven and time tested graphite -glass mix. These tubular rods were scien- tifically formulated and designed for greater power, increased sensitivity and durability. Combine these features with glass to glass ferrules and aluminum oxide guides and tips, and you have a winning com- bination. Their "Pro Staff" series is a field tested and proven phenolic fiberglass rod especially designed for the f resh water angler. The highly developed butt taper and tip action designs result in better casting and fish playing actions; and less fatigue at the end of a long day's angling. Again, the Pro Staff series features glass to glass ferrules and aluminurry oxide guides and tips for superior casting qualities and less line wear. The "Horizon" rods offer a complete selection of fiberglass rods for fresh and saltwater fishing in all actions, along with specialty rods for salmon and steelhead. These rods also feature Zebco's famous glass to glass ferrule and the freshwater rods have ceramic guides and tips. The saltwater models have chrome plated stainless wire frame guides and tips. The "Sundowner" series proves that quality does not have to be sacrificed to get economy. This new line of tubular fiberglass rods builds great looks and action into an affordable rod and still offers the expensive features. Cer'arnic guides, chrome plated steel frames, and glass to glass ferrules are all there for you to en- j0y. If you're thinking of a new rod, give Zebco a long leek � I'm sure you'll find just the rod you're lookin^ Fen it a price that will please you. third driving J.A. Delight for owner -trainer Wayne Horner of Clinton, and Ross Battin ended up fifth with Dandy Creek for Bill Bradley of Goderich. Ross also drove Dino's Lady to a second spot in the seventh for Ron Kerr of -Goderich, while John Muir was third with Misty Pebbles for Wm. Harburn of Walton. Kevin Wallis was third driving Kenmarou Castkee for Wayne Horner of Clinton, while Frank MacDonald was fifth with Skippy Dover for Lorne Tyndall of Clinton in the eighth. Bill Bennett of Seaforth gave his 12 -year-old Julep Time pacing mare, Nota Slowpoke, her first win from two starts this year, timed in 2.14.2. A winner ` of $23,492 through 1980, Nota Slowpoke has a lifetime record of p,2.06.3. Halagraph, leased by Janet 'Benneweis of Dashwood finished second for Glen Woodburn, while John Muir was fourth with Hopeful Pat for Dale Ken- nedy and Gord Dick of Seaforth. . Palmer Kerr, a regular driver at Clinton Raceway for many years and the trainer last year of Beau Jim when he set a new pacing record here of 2.00.1 with his son Terry driving, died at University Hospital, London on Thursday, July 2 at the age of 53. We extend our sympathy to his wife Shirley, sons Terry and Randy and daughter Pam, Mrs. Gary Payne. There will be races again this Sunday afternoon, July 12 with post -time 1:30 p.m. at Clinton. Three qualifying races will be held at 12:30 m. P Tar Daw Duchess, a two - Year -old Native Bomber pac- ing filly from the Newport Duke broodmare Maisie Belle, took a 2.07.3 record at Elmira Raceway on Friday, July 3 with Ken Carter up. She is owned by Claude H. Daw of Mississauga, a. former resident of our area, and trained by Bob Marshall of Acton. Maisie Belle's fastest per- former is Metric Time p,2.02, winner of $23,982, while Tar Daw Duke has ear- nings of $81,373 through 1980 and a p,2.02.4 record. Altogether she has nine record performers to date. Larry Daw of Clinton is a partner in her yearling colt by Prestwick and her new filly of 1981 by the Albatross sire Jonquil Hanover. R.J. Misty, a three-year- old filly by Scram -Virginia's Misty, , owned by . Bob McLean of Goderich,. took a p,2.07.1' record at Woodstock Raceway on June 30 with his son. Randy driving. Two pacers from Wayne Horner's Stable were in the money at Dresden Raceway on July 1, when R.W. Thorn was third and Rob O'Brien had a second. Ames Pride, leased by Gary Feagan from Jean and Ben Feagan of Goderich, finished second in a 2.05.4 mile at Toronto on July 1. Vesta Herbert, ' a three- year-old trotting filly by Reflected Way -Vesper Hanover, owned by C.W.(Jiggs) Le Beau of Brucefield, finished third in a 2.08.3 mile at Flamboro Downs on July 1 with George Zirnis on the bike. Jiggs also is training his two-year-old Speed Galore gelding Speedy Bob's Boy at the Clinton track. Goderich Raceway opened for the 1981 season on Thursday, July 2 with some excellent races.
