HORSES A -Elia, TIME JOB.
Harness. racing is one of the biggest bu5i-
tes cs in Ontario. With tracks in nearly every
Average -sized community throughout Western On-
traiot there are many breeders who take great pride
in nursing their potential winners through the long
winter months and preparing them for a whirl at
the purses Otten the summer cards roll around. The
ttlivn of Exeter is no exception!!
The barn up at the fair grounds housed 1(1
horses this past winter and all came through very
well. As we entered the stable on Tuesday afternoon
the only two active members of the local racing
profession in view were Charlie Godbolt and Lloyd
Turvey who were giving Flashy Hal and Sister Har-
mony a rub down.
Lena's Hope. who is owned by Sheridan Rev-
bigton aud 1'4rilliatli Ellerington, and Sister Harmony,
A two-year-old, are being looked after by Mr. Tur-
vey.
Wellington Hera had Governor Bars, a three-
year-old, and Miss Sally Hal sheltered in the stables
over the winter.
Of course, Flashy Hal is owned and trained
by Charlie Godbolt. Charlie has a new two-year-old
which will run under the name of Canadian Gratton
and he looks pretty good. Besides these two. Charles
is looking after J,S.C., a horse from Clinton owned
by Jacobs and Brown of that town.
The latest addition to the stables. has tome
to Lena Henley. She has a foal one month old that
ahasn't been named as yet. She was sired by Mighty
Atom. Turvey is the owner of this addition.
Charlie Godbolt passed on the information
that Sister Harmony and Canadian Gratton have been
staked in the two-year-old Supertest run at Dresden
on September 1 and in the Futurity at Toronto's
Woodbine race track in August. Sheridan Revington
purchased Sister Harmony from Lloyd 'Purvey.
Tom Yearly and Bill Allison are the owners of
four-year-old Shirley Harvester.' She was purchased
by the two from David Sharnblaw of Woodham,
Yearly also has another horse at the stables with
the common name of Doris Day (we don't mean the
singer!). The filly was .sired by Meadow Art who is
owned by Turvey.
The men, carts and .horses have been out on
the track for about three weeks now in preparation
for the June 4 opening races at home. No doubt the
pacers will move out into the racing picture else-
where before that but the date of June 4 will be
the home debut.
Toni 'Yearly. Charlie Godbolt and 'Lloyd Tur-
vey have been working steadily on the horses, jog-
ging them all winter around the track when perrniss-
able to harden theni up for the summer runs. The
Exeter track is in very good shape and it's being put
to plenty of use.
Local fans can look forward to a good season
at the track, providing their money is placed on the
right horse. Try as we did, we couldn't get a lead
from any of the horses as to where they were
going to finish, so we'll just have to hang onto our
loot! No horse sense, I guess!
MQE'E THE NAME—GOLF THE GAME
The saga of Andy Burnette, or should we say
Moe Norman, has a more pleasant chapter to read,
at least at the moment. "Moe the Shmo" as he used
to call himself on Rockway's green acres, has finally
started to settle down. He's accepted an assistant
pro's job at the DeHaviland Golf Centre in Toronto
where he will give lessons. It's hard for us to realize
Moe giving anyone lessons—not that the ardent Kit-
chener shotmaker doesn't know the game well
enough, it's just the easy going way he's handled
himself for so many years. You know the kind, al-
ways kidding or clowning about. We sincerely hope
that Mae does settle away though, as he's one of the
best we've seen on the links,
We understand his new job will let hint. play
In the Toronto Bursary in which he finished third
last year but couldn't collect the $1,500 that goes
with it because of his amateur standing. Moe will
also get into the Ontario Opens and the Ontario PGA
money runs. We really believe that if Moe settles
away like most people would like to see him do, he
could easily become another Stan Leonard or Al
Balding on the United States pro circuit.
Incidentally, that big $40,000 tournament in
Which Leonard capped the first place $10,000 prize
glut a feather in the hat for Canadian golfing circles.
With Balding and a couple of others continually
winning their share of the prize money on the tour -
Dement trail, it may not be long before other Can-
adians will start making a name for themselves. No
doubt the success of these two men alone has put
the urge into some of the game's most prolific
shooters for a crack at the J.S. tour.

Expect ncrease In Anglers
