The Huron Expositor, 1980-12-04, Page 227,1 rrIr ,THEIR mon ING.',140aThe rain and the cold Tuesday stop Bill oarnpbell.frorn taking NS standardbred Allissa's Lad, for their morning jog.across toWit and around the race track. Bill, who has been around .hOrses all 'his life, hopes to have this one year old trained to race. ' When Bill Campbell, a long time resident of James Street, retired as •Roads Superintendent for McKillop Township, --October-31, —he—knew—exactly what- he -- wanted to do. He wanted to spend more . time with his premier hobby . . . horses. Bill was born and raised on a Win, so he has been' around horses most of his life. "My father would have up to 20 hOrses around" for farming purposes, explains Bill. Now he owns two horses, the latest in a string that has covered just about every type of the animal, from big draft horses to race horses. A few years ago, Bill bought Allissa Haw Lea, one of the two horses he now owns. Allis sar standardbredrwasAobe raced, -But.. something happened while the animal was away being trained. She broke her right sesmoid, a bone in her right rear leg. A11issa4s racing days were over, before she ever got to the track. In May 1979, Allissa Haw Lea gave birth to a colt sire by Camper, from Aylmer. The colt was a male, so the obvious name for him was Allissa's Lad. paw Ellis Racing.in It is Allisse's Lad thdt nowcommands much of Bill's attentiuo, Starting the first of November, as s6ou as he had retired, Bill began taking Lad out for an exercise run every morning. Bill goes over to the barn on Goderich Street West, right beside the Freeze King, where his horses reside, "every morning except Sunday" to exercise Lad. The horse is harnessed to his jogging cart after being fed at about 8 a.m., and with Bill at the reigns, is jogged over to the racetrack at the fair grounds behind the arena. On a good day when the track is dry and fairly firm, the exercise usually includes about five miles. But, as was the case Tuesday morning, if the track is wet and soft„ orilLe weather is_poor, that five_miles is quickly reduced to three. "Fives miles on a dry track," says Bill, "is a lot easier than three miles when it's muddy." Bill concedes that he isn't a trainer himself, and says that, "I'm doing it (jogging Lad) because I enjoy it." But this doesn't mean that Allissa's Lad isn't destined for the track. tOtiroirnent "It's too early to know yet whether this horse will go to the (race) track or not, answers Bill. But he hopes Lad will, if given the proper training. "If not this one, then perhaps the next," says Bill, indicating that Allissa Haw Lea is in foal again, with the colt due early in February. The last time that Bill owned a race horse that went to the track and did any winning was back in the 1950's. But at that time, he was only going for "hundred dollar purses" which don't even cover the cost of owning a racer. On the other hand if Bill were in it just for the money, he probably would have given up long ago. "I enjoy it," he says, "and that's enough for Of course, having a winning animnal -would- be -nice:- Bill=points—out-that- one— famous winner, Niatross, sold for $200,000 for only half its interest. "You'd only need one like that," jokes Bills., As for Allissa's Lad and future stable . mates, Bill says lightly, ' if they go fast enough, they'll make money, and if they don't go fast enough, well, then that's another question." ,,1•71111111.„ FEED DISCOUNT DAYS December 8th 4 9th 20/ /Ooff on all minerals in 1/2 tonne lots or more 3% off on all supplements In tonne lots or more Discount applies on cash sales only. tSEAFORTH FARMERS CO-OPI 527-0770 Britannia marks 125th at St. Thomas Church Members of Britannia Lod- ge No. 170 A.F. and A.M. recognized the 125th anni- versary of the Grand Lodge A.F. and A.M. of Canada by attending a special service at St. Thomas Anlican Church on Sunday.
