Compete at Guelph
The Zone VII Junior Farmers Team from
Western Ontario came first in the 1985 Farm
Equipment Safety Competition held in
conjunction with the Junior Farmers' Sum-
mer Games at the University of Guelph on
August 10.
The winning teams' members included Jim
Mullin, Ralph Snyder and Harold Jelinski of
Grey County as well as Larry Plaetzer and Jim
Nivens, of Huron County.
The competition format was slightly
revised this year to include a welding exercise
in the competition. The five member teams
had to be well versed in all aspects of each
exercise since they would not know which of
the five exercises each member would take
part in until minutes before.
The 1985 Farm Equipment Safety Compe-
tition was jointly sponsored by the Farm
Safety Association, Forest Products Accident
Prevention Association, John Deere Limited
and the Junior Farmers' Association.

Seaforth horsemen dominate at Clinton
BY TOBY RAINEY
A nasty accident in the first race sent driver
Ross Battin to hospital and put a Clinton
horse out of contention for the rest of the
season as a near -capacity crowd looked on at
Clinton Raceway Sunday.
Battin was rushed by ambulance to Clinton
hospital after the horse he was driving
collided with another and went down,
catapulting him from the bike just past the
starting line. Driver Johnny Muir was also
dumped in the mishap, but came back to win
the second race with Willa's Roger in a new
record for the Seaforth colt.
Battin returned to drive in the eighth with
nothing more than some bad scrapes and
bruises, but his horse, Jennifer's Beauty,
owned and trained by Case Buffinga of
Clinton, suffered a foot injury which will
likely sideline her for a few months.
• Apparently Jennifer's Beauty went down
after catching a foot in the wheel of Susie
Homer's (driven by Muir) bike, when the
Wayne Homer Stables' filly broke at the wire
and bobbled into Batt'in's path. Buffinga's
mare was still down on the track as the field
came past at the half, but - guided by
announcer Billy Kell's warnings - were
strung out enough to go through single file on'
the rail, avoiding a potentially much worse
disaster. It was Clinton's first bad accident of
the season.
Battin missed trips in races 2, 3, 4 and 7,
sending owners scrambling for catch drivers,
but came back to show with Shyloh Calypso in
the eighth, place fourth with Mitola Hi in the
ninth, and second with Handy Slipper in the
feature. Ironically, Battin was also slated to
drive another Seaforth horse, Fighting Filly,
in the fifth race, but was scratched when the
filly had to be put down after a training injury
late last week.
Seaforth horses and horsemen again
dominated the Clinton card, setting the trend
as John Muir won with W illa's Roger for
owners Ed and Bruce Lamont and Brian

WINNER OF JULY DRAW - Marta Isaac of London
Rock Oar 7ruit Jarnrs Ltd.
Located on Rock Glen Road
1-828-3100 Arkona, Ont.
Glanville. In the third race, Greyfriar's Faye,
owned, trained and driven by Dale Kennedy
paced to a new personal best of 2:05
four-fifths for her second win in a row.
Greyfriar's Faye paid $13.80 to win and
(along with Call Me Mc and Stoneriggs
Admiral) paid $1694.10 on the Triactor. But
even this whopper pales in comparison to the
$2926.90 Tri paid out on Black Rebel, Edward
E. Frost and Don't Cry in the $1;500 'claimer
in the 1,0th. In it, dark horse Black Rebel paid
$26.00 to win, $9.80 to place.
Seaforth archrivals K:M. Bertola and
Mitola Hi (driven respectively by Muir and
Battin) again did battle in the ninth, the day's
most exciting cliffhanger, although both lost
to newcomer Got to Be Me, trained and
driven by Bill Morrissey. Bill Harburn's
Bertola was second, with Dale Kennedy's
Mitola Hi placing fourth behind another
newcomer, Polly Rum, with Ray McLean in
the stirrups.
Trainer -driver Randy McLean won the
second leg of the Clinton-Goderich Pacing
Series with G.G. Limbo for owner Lionel
Arbour of Goderich. This annual $1,000
added stake' series has been plagued with
scratches, but hopefully the third leg will get
underway at Goderich Raceway's final day of
the season this Thursday, while the final
round will go off at Clinton September 8, for a
purse of $3,050.
Another Goderich horse, Carman Kerr's
He's Special led all the way in the eighth to
win handily for trainer -driver Allan Shelton;
Ray McLean placed third in the sixth with
Brett's Nuffy for owner John Watson of
Blyth and trainer -driver Randy McLean was
third in the seventh with Tar Daw Duchess for
Clinton's Larry Daw.
