*Pp among the ar tions'involy-
ed ars;nixed.° Some thffilkit s an mat idea;
others are against it, .
• One of the females against changing the
lawns OntarkWoraelealandtkAAROation.
President, Fran Rider. She believes -"e .
politicians are fighting so 'hard for a.:high
profile on women's rights isstiesethat.'they
are taking actions, that, iroriicaily, could
hinder female opportunities. •
"Let's make sure we are going in the right
direction before we destroy what we have
now."
Whether the politicians are just trying to
get a higher profile in this area or not is
uncertain, but no matter what their reasons
for taking action are, the end result is the
same. They certainly wouldn't be doing this
if they felt the majority of women were not
behind thelia.
The law in question is Clause 19 (2). It
states that rights are not infringed "where
By (trine Ncirejko
Me AiberSlup�'i>it a�n. athplettc organization, or
participation in an athlletie •activity, 'is
restricted to personso theSa ne•sex."
Twelve -year-old Justine Hlainey is
• challenging the law because she wants to
play�for. the Toronto ympiee' of the
Metropolitan Toiotitn '.ley ,League.
However,. the existing las( state that in-
tegrated`hockey is: only. peranitted up to age
12. Justine believes that she should be allow-
ed to compete where. her skulle:merit.
Some organizers are against • the idea
because they don't believe females are as
rough and tough as males. Are all males
tough?
Males who don't mind the• body 'contact
play In football or hockey while those who
don't go in for the rough stuff, choose to par-
ticipate in other sports. The same applies to
females. Not ail females will want to play
hockey with the girls, not to Mention the
guys, but those that do will have to tryout
and prove that they can handle the physical
part of We game as well as show, they have
the necessary skills. Another argument
against the change is that the better female
players will ;play for the men's teams,
weakening the female teams.
All players like to compete with people of
approximately the same ability, so the bet-
ter female athletes will have that chance
and the other female athletes who find they
are not good enough, or simply don't want
to, play on a men's team will compete
against players of equal ability. Granted the
women's league may not be as good, but
those in the league will find it competitive.
The key .phrase to having females play
alongside males is "if they make the
tryouts." If females can catch a baseball,
pass a puck or get a touchdown as well as
males, why not let them play side by side?

"We're going to make this an annual'

He added that the only problem he had run
into in organizing the day was that "every
business in town has been phoning me all
week to donate blankets this race day — but,
heck, we can only use 11 at a time, so the
A rest are going to have to wait until next

CLINTON - August 11 will' long be
remembered as "H.F. Alice Day" in Clin-
ton, the day that the hometown filly showed
her style to more than 1,500 cheering fans,
charging across the wire six lengths in front
of the pack and going away like a train, to
win the third division of the Ontario Sires
Stakes (OSS) for three -year-olds pacing
fillies.
Even so, her winning time of 2:02 was
• slow for this splendid Tarport Count -Karina
Hanover filly, who holds, the Canadian
record of 1:57 2/5 as the fastest female
?acer of any age on a. half -mile track, set at
Flamboro Downs last month.
' The hometown fans loved it, as more than
50 of them poured onto the track to join Alice
in the winner's circle, and to congratulate
owner Bill Fleming, trainer Butch Elliot
and driver Ray .McLean as Clinton Raceway
Day Chairman Frank Cook made the
presentation.
This filly has been somewhat of a paceset-
terin the elite world of OSS fillies since she
set the Canadian . record, coming back a
week later to win her OSS event at Green-
, wood in 1:59; and then pacing to a scorching
1:57 3/5 win in a tough elimination mile at
the Rothman's Summer Championships in,
- Toronto on July 27. Her, share of last Sun-
day's purse of $10,648 puts her winnings for
1985 ' at just under $64,000, an enviable
bankroll for a Clinton -bred filly'.'
The big win with H.F. Alice in the tenth
race made it a hat trick plus one for driver
Ray McLean, who had already turned in one
win with Nugget Horner in the fourth race;
, with another Clinton horse, Calgary Counsel
( owned by Bob and Paul Taylor of Clinton:
and trained by Paul Taylor) in the siixxtthh;
and with Fireside Spree in the ninth, the se-
cond OSS division of the• day, and Spree's
first OSS win.
Fireside Spree is by the stallion Armbro
Splurge, who stands at Seelster Farms in
Lucan. Owned and trained by Roy Rev-
ington of Lucas, this brown filly recently
won a Flamboro, pace in 2:00 4/5, several
ticks faster than Sunday's time of 2:02 2/5.
The fastest time of the day, 2:00 4/5, was
turned in by Major's Choice in the first divi-
sion of the Sire's Stakes, establishing a new
record for herself in her first win of the
season, as well as setting a new track record
at Clinton for three-year-old fillies. Owned
H.F. Alice ran away with the Ontario Sire Stake race on August 11. She is owned by BM 'Fleming (right), trained by Butch Elliott
( second from right) and driven by Ray McLean Aleft), (Dave Millar photo)
by Charles Armstrong of Inglewood and Gus
Schickendanz of Thornhill and trained by
Bill Wellwood, this Jade Prince filly may be
one to watch in the future. She has posted
two seconds and two thirds in her last four
stakes races at Greenwood, including a
third place finish in both her elimination and
final heats in the Rothmans' Champion-
ships, all impressive showings in under 2:02
2/Another local filly on the OSS circuit, Gin
and Wink, owned by Lois and Verdun
Vanstone of Benmiller and trained by Ver-
dun Vanstone, attracted a lot of attention
from the hometown crowd in the second
division, but finished fifth in the blistering

able reinsmanship of Ray McLean.
However, popular trainer -driver
Vanstone provided adequate compensation
to his followers by piloting Jennie Willvan to
a new personal record for the five-year-old
mare, winning the first race in 2:06. Jennie
Willvan, owned by Scott Riehl of Goderich
and trained by Vanstone, is by Tarport
Count, making the brown mare a half-sister
to H.F. Alice.
Vanstone scored his second win of the'day
with his own filly Benmiller Shelley, in the
third race, outclassing the competition to
win handily in 2:06 1/5. The upset win paid
$12.40 to win, combined with the second

race, finishing a close second behind Jennie
Willvan.
The perennial favourite, Vallecreek
Tramp, owned by John Watson of Blyth and
trained by Clinton's Paul Taylor, also led

was the six-year-old bay horse's eighth win
in nine starts. Combined with the Listowel.
mare Feature Time, Valleycreek Tramp
paid $295.00 for a $2 bill in the Exactor.
The eighth race definitely belonged to
Seaforth fans, as two local horses, Becky Hi
and Out All Knight traded the lead backand
forth as they raced practically as a team for
most of the mile, with Becky Hi just squeak-
ing under the wire first to set a new personal
record of 2:07 3/5. Becky Hi is owned by Joe
