SPECIAL THANKS TO W.G. THOMPSON FOR THEIR TREMENDOUS SUPPORT THROUGHOUT OUR CELEBRATIONS, THANKS! Improved breeding has made the difference in OSS times When the Ontario Sires Stakes program began in 1974, the aim was to provide financial incentives, to improve the harness horse breed in the province. While Ontario had been producing some nice race horses, the calibre was far below the fashionable stock found south of the border in the United States. A dozen years have passed since the first Ontario Sires Stakes event was called to the post and there's no doubt that the OSS has advanced the cause of improved. breeding in the province. The fastest mile in the initial year of the OSS was 2:01.1. The current record, set by Mystery Skip- per at Windsor Raceway in 1984 is 1:55 flat - a difference of 31 lengths! But speed is not the only yardstick with which to measure the success of the Ontario -sired standardbred. In some cases, the Ontario-breds are having great success racing against top U.S.-sired performers. Take, for instance, Nadirs Pride. This three-year-old filly, who has won almost $300,000 to date for owner Eugene Forbes of Walkerton, equalled the all-time Cana- dian record in a Grand Circuit event at Montreal's Blue Bonnets Raceway earlier this summer. She 'trotted the Montreal oval in 1:58.1 - a, time many experts would have thought impossible for an Ontario -sired trotting filly just a few years ago. In that race Nadirs Pride, who is trained and driven by Owen Sound's Bob Walker, defeated some outstanding U.S. performers. As a matter of fact, Nadirs Pride was followed across the wire by Armbro Ermine, Kassay, and Alter Ego, all sired by stallions standing in Ontario! The other Grand Circuit division that night at Blue Bonnets was won by another OSS standout, Shipps Dream. Owned by Harold Shipp of Mississauga, the daughter of Dream of Glory, who has won more than $180,000 this year, was also a handy winner. In the -ranks of -the two-year-old colt trot- ters, C Lewis Lauxmont has been waving the banner high for the Ontario -sired colts this year. A son of Cantario Farms' stallion Balanced Image, C Lewis Laux- mont became the first Ontario -bred rookie ONTARIO SIRES STAKES Fastest Miles (1974-1986) (up to and including Tues. Aug. 19) trotter to break the 2:00 speed barrier with his 1:59.4 victory at Freestate Raceway in Maryland earlier this month. That effort followed a strong third-place finish against the best in the world in the $879,250 Peter Haughton Memorial at The Meadowlands in New Jersey in July. In that race, C Lewis Lauxmont trotted his own mile in 1:58.3 and picked,up $105,510 for his effort. To date the colt has earned nearly $150,000 in just six lifetime starts. Another two-year-old colt trotter who will likely soon get the opportunity to race against the U.S.-breds is Armbro Fame. This son of Dream Of Glory has been perfect in every way for owner John Grant of Hornby 'and driver Bill Wellwood. He's won each of his nine starts to date, in- cluding five Ontario Sires Stakes events. In his most recent start, he won by 17 12 lengths in a time of 2:01 at Flamboro Downs' half -mile track. That clocking was an all-time Canadian record and there are many who believe Armbro Fame is as good as any of the U.S. colts. On the pacing side of the ledger, three- year-old colt Daylon Blue has been having success against his American counter- parts. Earlier this year he won the Burl- ington_ Stakes at Greenwood Raceway for trainer -driver Doug McIntosh. Then on August 17 the son of Armbro Omaha raced in the Confederation Cup at Flamboro Downs. He finished fourth in his heat to qualify for the final and in the final picked up a cheque while racing against the brilliant Nobleland Sm, who set an all-time Canadian record of 1:55.1 over, the half - mile oval. Owned_by J. Louis Levesque, Daylon Blue is undefeated in three Onatr)o Sires Stakes events this year and has earned more than $154,000 to date. At Ottawa's Rideau Carleton Raceway on August 10 Kawartha Playtime won the $200,000 Governor General's Cup for Kin- cardine, native, Dave Wall. The son of Kawartha Skipper set a track record of 1:55.2 to down two other OSS standouts, Known Fact and Sues Jake. Owned by Nick Barbieri of Woodbridge, Kawartha Playtime picked up more than $38,000 for his efforts in that prestigious race. 1/e MILE TRACK 3yo Colt Pacers 3yo Filly Pacers 3yo Colt Trotters 3yo Filly Trotters 2yo Colt Pacers 2yo Filly Pacers 2yo Colt Trotters 2yo Filly Trotters HORSE TIME Twin B Playboy 1:56.2 Misty Silver 1:58.3 Village Ghost 2:01 Nadirs Pride 2:00.3 Snipper i 1:58 Aromaha 1:59 Armbro Fame 2:01 Nadirs Pride 2:02.4 5/8 MILE TRACK HORSE 3y6 -.Colt Pacers ',,=Mystery Skipper 3yo Filly Pacers Dallas Princess 3yo Colt Trotters Lou Macs Dream 3yo Filly Trotters Shipps Dream 2yo Colt Pacers Wilcos Comet Rewind 2yo Filly Pacers 2yo Colt Trotters 2yo Filly Trotters Tommys Becky Lifetime Chance Grand Nadirs Pride TRACK YEAR Flamboro 1985 Elmira 1986 Flamboro 1985 Flamboro 1986 Flamboro 1984 Flamboro 1983 Flamboro 1986 Flamboro 1985 TIME :55 "1:56.4 1:59.2 1:58.4 1:58 1:58 Nader 2:02.2 2:00.3 1974 2:04.1 2:03 2:08.2 2:08 2:07.3 2:08 210.1 2:09.3 TRACK YEAR 1974 ;Windsor 19& 2:02.3 ''GreenWbdd 1986 2:01.1 Rideau 1985 2:05.1 Rideau 1986 2:05.3 Mohawk 1984 2:05 Greenwood 1983 2:05.4 Windsor 1983: 2:07 Windsor 1985 2:09.3 When the Pressure's on: PRESSUR ThEATED WOOD STAIN Insist on new Cuprinol Pressure Wood Stain.
