(David Emslie photo) Ontario Sire Stales set to go (;ODERICH - Goderich Raceway will host a $35,250 Ontario Sires Stakes event for two- year-old pacing colts Thursday, August 13th. Post time is 7:30 p.m. A total of 27 colts were entered here on August 10, splitting the big purse into four divisions. Featured among the entrants is the top OSS colt Skip Killean. Skip Killean, who has earned $37,927 already in this his freshman campaign, had been undefeated in the five OSS previous to last week's Woodstock test. However a dif- ficult post position, odd fractions and a tough trip ended that as he finished second. His owners are sure to be looking to redeem that performance this Thursday. The pro- blem for Skip Killean is that he has drawn the seven trailing post position and that he is up against some other tough colts. Facing Skip Killean will be Woodstock OSS winner Bando Phoenix and two time OSS victor Gerabell Pat. Lesters Dream, owned by Kevin Carter of Clinton, Ont., won a qualifying race in 2:06.3 last week over the Goderich track and he has also drawn into this division. Men's fastball standings Last week's scores August 5: Norholme 0, Lauries 7; Dynamos 6, Merilers 3. August 10: Lawries 14, Norholme 3; Dynamos 8, Meiners 5 These playoff games are best three out of five series. Upcoming games August 12: 8:00 p.m. Norholme vs l.avaries; 9:30 p.m. Merners vs Dynamos. Tykes take tourney The Clinton Tykes won four straight games in a recent tournament, defeating Walkerton and Exeter and Listowel twice. Nathan Burns pitched the whole game against Walkerton, throwing 12 strike -outs. Clinton won the game 14-1. in their next game, which they won 20-3 over Exeter, Bryan Watson took care of the pitching. He pitched nine strike -outs. Neal Atchison pitched both games against the team from Listowel. The locals won the first game 11-1 when Neal struck out eight batters. He threw seven strike -outs in the second game and led the team to a 12-2 win. The Tykes now advance to another tour- nament with Bolton, Collingwood and Tot- tenham as their opponents. If they are able to play as well as they did during this weekend tournament, there is a good chance they will advance to the OBA championships. Another division is highlighted by two Woodstock OSS winners going head to head. These are the colts i m Herb, now three for three lifetime ( Woodstock was his first stakes start) and Bio Time. Bio Time has been racing along the province wide OSS circuit all season, but that Woodstock vic- tory was also his first in stakes company. Bob Hamather of Zurich, Ont., will see his highly thought of colt Caught Foolin race in a division also. Hamather, who owns car dealerships and several businesses in the Exeter area, said recently that this colt was given his name because he was foaled on April Fools Day. Hamather is a well known owner having campaigned Willow Wiper and No No Abby. Goderich Raceway extends a special in- vitation to everyone to come out Thursday night and see these exceptional Ontario Sires Stakes colts perform.
