Clinton News-Record, 1985-6-26, Page 18Page 16—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1985 Sports The experts say that exercise is good for you, as long as you don't over do it. It's - always that "as long as you don't over do it" that I forget and I end up paying the consequences the following few days. I must have a short memory, but I never realize how much I miss a sport until I participate in it. Take baseball, last year I didn't pick up a ball or bat until the end of the season, and I was really sorry I hadn't played. However, I decided I was going to play this year. So I signed up to play, but until I had my glove on and caught my first fly, I wasn't sure I wanted to play. But after I felt that ball go into the pocket of my glove and I heard the crack of the bat I was glad I signed up. After oniy one game I have baseball fever. I also have the sorest body around. This is where the "over doing it" comes into play. After putting my body through the most rigorous exercise it has had in half a year, I ventured out to the golf course. For most golfers, the sport doesn't provide as much exercise as it does for me. I think I'd be safe to say that I swing my golf clubs twice as much, if not triple the times, an average golfer does. Actually my game's pretty good until I get on the green. I can never figure out which way 1 should aim so the ball will fall off at the right angle and drop into the hole. Another problem I have is determining whether it is a fast green or a slow green. I didn't have the greatest game of my life, ( most people wouldn't want to go out on the course again) but it did get my enthusiasm up: Sports Days Clinton •and Goderich Township are planning their sports days for July 5 and 0.

(Miller Photo Services) Clinton horse wins at Leamington The three -Year-old pacing fillies of the On- tario Sires Stakes will be rolling into Orangeville Raceway July 7, and a new track record for this group is a distinct possibility. One of the most competitive groups of girls has assembled this year, and they will be battling for the top shares of about $100,000 in purse money at the half - mile track. The sophomore fillies last met at. Leam- ington Raceway (they will be in Belleville before heading on to Orangeville), and all three divisions were captured by fillies who hadn't been in the spotlight much this year. Armbro Daisy walked off with the fastest division there, setting a new track record of 2:00. 2/5. Handled liy her trainer, Dave Wall, the Armbro Ranger filly made the win her third this year in seven starts for owners the Bur - boy Farms Ltd: of Brampton, Robert Fisher of Glanworth, and Colin Ferguson of St. Thomas. A $15,000 yearling purchase out of the Canadian Classic Sale, this filly was the se- cond leading money -winner in OSS last year as a two-year-old. Another filly who cannot be overlooked is Auntie Jean. The daughter of Hustling Time ran into some problems handling the track at Leamington, broke stride, and finished last. That was an un- customary break with her usual form, though. She finished 1984 as the leading money -winning filly in the OSS two-year-old pacing filly group, and easily won the open- ing two events of 1985, including a 1:58.1/5 track record performance at Kawartha Downs in early June. Mike Schaefer trains and drives the homebred filly for Zelda•Chalkley ofPuslin ch. A surprise winner at Leamington was the homebred Tarport Count miss, H.F.Alice. She toured the half-miler with driver Ray McLean in an outstanding 2:003/5—a clock- ing that knocked more than six seconds off her previous lifetime best. Trained by George Elliott, this filly is owned by Bill Fleming of Clinton. Another winner at Leamington was the Armbro Splurge filly Dee Dee Splurge. Steered by Reg Gassien for her new owner, Hoffman Stables Inc. of Mississauga, Dee •Dee Splurge cruised to a new lifetime mark of 2:01 flat. Fred Hoffman, one of the • leading trainers at the Ontario Jockey Club, manages the talented filly. Above The Crowd has played the role of the bridesmaid in the last three OSS events, so she's bound to cut loose for a winning mile before too long. The daughter of Armbro Ranger sold for $5,500 as a yearling out of the Canadian Classic sale to her owner, Theo Koerner of St. Thomas. John Yake handles the training duties on Above The Crowd. . Other possible starters.might include: Gin and Wink, a daughter of Armbro Omaha who is owned by Verdun and Lois Vanstone of Goderich. This filly, who is a half-sister to OSS graduate Landfair Ace 2:01.1h ( $49,000), has, in her last four starts been a winner twice and finished second twice, so she looks to be ready for some tough action; Fireside Spree, finished third to Dee Dee. Splurge at Leamington,8 and a couple of weeks before that won at Windsor in 1:59.1/5. A homebred daughter of Armbro Splurge, Fireside Spree is trained by her owner, Leroy Revington of Lucan.
