The Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-09-03, Page 29Goderich aceway draws competitive field dor Ron Meagan Memorial Pace On Thursday Septeli:nber 4, 1986, Goderich Raceway will host the Ron Feagan Memorial Pace. This pace is dedicated to a man who started his career as a youngster on Goderich Raceway and who went on to become a giant in his sport and profession - a member of the Canadian Harness Hall of Fame. A brief survey of the highlights of his career indicates that as a horseman Ron Feagan was one of the best. His career achievements include a number of firsts. He was the first Canadian driver to win -- $500,000 in purse earnings in a Single season; he was the youngest driver to drive a two minute mile; he was the first Canadian driver to win 200 races in a single season. Other career achievements of Ron Fegan include: 11 consecutive seasons of averaging 200 wins; twenty four times leading money winner on the O.J.C. cir- cuit; and Canada's Horseman of the Year in 1965. Ron Feagan was also owner, trainer and driver of H.A. Meadowland - the winner of the Canadian Pacing Derby in 1966. When Ron Feagan died in January 1979, at the age of thirty six, he had amassed 3,036 career wins and $6.6 million in career purse earnings. Ron Feagan's career record sets him apart as one of the best race drivers that ever lived - anywhere, anytime. It is to the memory of Ron Feagan and his spec- tacular career that the 8th Annual Ron Feagan Memorial Pace is dedicated.

Fortune Seelster, who has been pacing consistently around the two minute mark, is making his debut appearance at Goderich for the Memorial Pace. • No Guff, the oldest pacer in the field, is a tough horse which cannot be overlooked. His lifetime earnings of over $270,000 il- lustrate that No Guff is used to being in the money. Linlor Rodger and D A Dariel are two local horses which are very competitive in the Memorial.

Huff picks up low gross at Maitland Ladies' Night Summer is slowly but surely drawing to a close, with the shadows getting longer and the days shorter. The various matches are being played and in most cases are down to the semi-finals. Men's night last Monday was rained out. They played on Thursday but haven't seen fit to get the results to me. Ladies' night on Tuesday was alsorainedout but we played on Wednesday with a field of 12, better than expected on such a cold windy day. Marie Huff came in with 1st low gross and net winners were Mary Lapaine, Sally MacEwan, Bev Jeffrey and putts won by Grace Neville.

First low gross was carded by Raymond Bedard (carrying irst loon a w net had a 4 -way tradition I see, Raymond).• tie with Tim Harrison, Corey Haylow, Jason Cook and Chris O'Neil vying for honours.
