time from Fredericton Raceway with 2,443 career wins, taking over from
Mike Downey, who has 2,430. He is only 57 wins away from 2,500. <br /></p>Todd is
also second in career earnings behind Mike Stevenson, who is far and
away the leading money winning driver. Mike has a good chance of
passing $10 million in career earnings in 2024. <p>Yesterday we reviewed some of the greatest horses ever
developed at Fredericton Raceway but the picturesque oval was also the
launching ground for a number of great drivers. Some of those drivers are
native to Fredericton while others relocated and began their harness
racing careers here primarily. Please consider that some drivers have stats prior to the 1970s that are not included in their totals. So with that in mind, let's flash back and remember some names from past and present.</p><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

state that Bill Sharen may be the greatest horse ever developed at Fredericton Raceway. <br /></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The
chestnut stallion was foaled at Samuel J. Boyle’s Fredericton farm,
over one hundred years ago on September 1, 1915. He was undefeated in
Fredericton as a four and five-year-old and then sold to Tommy Murphy of
Poughkeepsie, NY for $25,000, a record price for a Canadian
standardbred horse.</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb d3f4x2em iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto"><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">During
the course of his record-setting five-year-old season in 1920, Bill
Sharen had attracted the attention of Murphy after winning the
Free-For-All at Fredericton.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The
sale was announced by telegram and published in the New York Times on
November 16, 1920. It was said “the horse is a rich chestnut in color,
stands fifteen hands high and has weighed 1,500 pounds” and “...the
holder of records on nearly every track on which he raced” in the
Maritimes and Maine.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">On
August 17, 1922 at Belmont Driving Park in Philadelphia, Bill Sharen
became the first Canadian-bred horse to trot better than 2:05 when he
won consecutive heats in the $2,500 Bulls Head Stake in 2:05 ¼ -2:04 ¼ -
2:06 ¼ against world class trotters. He also became the first
Maritime-bred to trot or pace a mile better than 2:05 on any North
American track and had earnings of $7,647.75.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">As
his 1922 season progressed, he became known for his ability to win
triple heats, a feat he accomplished three times during the last two
weeks of August.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Bill
Sharen raced for seven seasons and established two Canadian records and
more than a dozen track records. His legendary career ended back in
the Maritimes and when he returned to Fredericton in September 1928. It
was written that he was “in the midst of the greatest comebacks the
Down East has ever known.”</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">But
his career ended suddenly at Island Park in Woodstock later that year

with the concept of writing a blog about the most successful horses Fredericton
Raceway ever produced, I wondered if I would be able to determine who the
greatest Fredericton horse of all time was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I soon realized that this would be an impossible task.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you really compare horses from one era to
another?</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I decided that I would focus
on the modern era and I categorized horses based on lifetime records, race
times, money earnings and career wins to see if it made the task of determining
the best any less difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It is important to note
that all of the horses were stabled, broke and trained at Fredericton Raceway at the <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beginning</i></b> of their careers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some were bred in the Fredericton area and
others were purchased at yearling sales in Atlantic Canada and throughout North
America.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Since there is no one
source to comprise this very specific criteria of horses developed in
Fredericton, I relied mostly on my own recollections and the great memories of
horse people in Fredericton. </div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Classic Gene was a son
of Southampton V-Adele Daeres who was purchased by Carol Thornton and Joan
Sowers for $5,200 in 1979 at a yearling sale in Ontario.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horse was broke and trained by Joan’s
husband Philip Sowers and began his racing career as a two-year-old in
Fredericton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won two races in Saint
John early in his sophomore year, January 1981, and was then sold to U.S.
interests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Later that year he
established a world record for one and one-quarter miles on a five-eighths mile
track at Liberty Bell Park in Philadelphia when he paced in 2:31.2, lowering
Belle Action’s old record of 2:32, established in 1958.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sowers was quoted as saying, “I knew he could
really go a distance but it’s really something to set a world record.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The world record is
currently held by Boulder Creek – 2:19.4.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Classic Gene raced
until the age of eleven and ended his career with 19 wins, $80,256 in earnings
and a lifetime record of 1:58.2m.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

chestnut stallion was foaled at Samuel J. Boyle’s Fredericton farm,
over one hundred years ago on September 1, 1915. He was undefeated in
Fredericton as a four and five-year-old and then sold to Tommy Murphy of
Poughkeepsie, NY for $25,000, a record price for a Canadian
standardbred horse.</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb d3f4x2em iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto"><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">During
the course of his record-setting five-year-old season in 1920, Bill
Sharen had attracted the attention of Murphy after winning the
Free-For-All at Fredericton.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The
sale was announced by telegram and published in the New York Times on
November 16, 1920. It was said “the horse is a rich chestnut in color,
stands fifteen hands high and has weighed 1,500 pounds” and “...the
holder of records on nearly every track on which he raced” in the
Maritimes and Maine.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">On
August 17, 1922 at Belmont Driving Park in Philadelphia, Bill Sharen
became the first Canadian-bred horse to trot better than 2:05 when he
won consecutive heats in the $2,500 Bulls Head Stake in 2:05 ¼ -2:04 ¼ -
2:06 ¼ against world class trotters. He also became the first
Maritime-bred to trot or pace a mile better than 2:05 on any North
American track and had earnings of $7,647.75.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">As
his 1922 season progressed, he became known for his ability to win
triple heats, a feat he accomplished three times during the last two
weeks of August.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Bill
Sharen raced for seven seasons and established two Canadian records and
more than a dozen track records. His legendary career ended back in
the Maritimes and when he returned to Fredericton in September 1928. It
was written that he was “in the midst of the greatest comebacks the
Down East has ever known.”</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">But
his career ended suddenly at Island Park in Woodstock later that year
when he dropped dead after the second heat of his final start. He was
buried in the centerfield of the track which is now underwater after
being flooded by the construction of the Mactaquac dam in 1967.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Bill Sharen was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2000.</div> </div></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">When I first came up
with the concept of writing a blog about the most successful horses Fredericton
Raceway ever produced, I wondered if I would be able to determine who the
greatest Fredericton horse of all time was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I soon realized that this would be an impossible task.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you really compare horses from one era to
another?</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I decided that I would focus
on the modern era and I categorized horses based on lifetime records, race
times, money earnings and career wins to see if it made the task of determining
the best any less difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It is important to note
that all of the horses were stabled, broke and trained at Fredericton Raceway at the <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beginning</i></b> of their careers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some were bred in the Fredericton area and
others were purchased at yearling sales in Atlantic Canada and throughout North
America.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Since there is no one
source to comprise this very specific criteria of horses developed in
Fredericton, I relied mostly on my own recollections and the great memories of
horse people in Fredericton. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The following is a
tribute to the talent of the trainers in Fredericton so here is a look at some

It should be noted that
Jaguar Knight and Spudland Sierra established new standards when they took
their lifetime records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jaguar Knight
paced the Meadowlands in 1:51.2 for Mike Stevenson in May 1994 and became the
fastest Maritime-bred horse of all time and the second fastest Canadian-bred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He held the Maritime-bred distinction for
almost eight years until February 2002 when Dakota Express paced the
Meadowlands in 1:51.1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spudland Sierra’s
win at Woodbine in 1:52.1 for Jody Jamieson in July 2004 was the fastest ever by a New
Brunswick-bred mare and second only to Dexter’s Wine (1:52) by a Maritime-bred
mare at the time.</div>

Classic Gene was a son
of Southampton V-Adele Daeres who was purchased by Carol Thornton and Joan
Sowers for $5,200 in 1979 at a yearling sale in Ontario.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horse was broke and trained by Joan’s
husband Philip Sowers and began his racing career as a two-year-old in
Fredericton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won two races in Saint
John early in his sophomore year, January 1981, and was then sold to U.S.
interests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Later that year he
established a world record for one and one-quarter miles on a five-eighths mile
track at Liberty Bell Park in Philadelphia when he paced in 2:31.2, lowering
Belle Action’s old record of 2:32, established in 1958.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sowers was quoted as saying, “I knew he could
really go a distance but it’s really something to set a world record.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The world record is

I have to admit that
I have always been somewhat of a statistical geek. I have an affinity
for numbers and when you combine that with an interest in harness
racing - a business that almost exclusively uses numbers to gauge
itself - it provides an opportunity to evaluate it from different
points of view. After all, we offer race patrons a program full of
numbers and statistical data. Whether it is a horses time in their
last race; the number of wins or dollars earned or maybe just the
betting information, numbers and statistics can play a large role in
this sport.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When Niatross
time-trialed in a world record 1:49.1 in 1980, I remember the harness
racing periodical <i>The Harness Horse</i> arrived in the mailbox
with nothing on its cover but the numbers :27.3-:54.3-1:21.4-1:49.1.
I was a teenager just starting to follow harness racing and the
significance of that cover was not lost on me. I had already
memorized the family tree of all of my relative’s horses and I
understood the importance of Meadow Skipper, Bye Bye Byrd and Adios
in a pedigree. Now harness racing took on a new perspective for me.
Niatross was now the fastest horse of all time and I wanted to know
whose record he eclipsed and how fast they had gone.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I took that interest
to Fredericton Raceway and when I started to work there in 1982 I
went about ensuring that all of the track records were current and
that a list of the Walter Dale winners was easily accessible. Scott
Green has been very helpful in maintaining the integrity of the track
records and assembling timed track records for trotters and pacers
since the track opened in 1887. I also put together a chronological
history of the track.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So with that all
said I decided
to take a look at New Brunswick’s most prolific horses and their
breeders of all time. I solicited harness racing guru Patrick
Eastwood of Saint John and he provided me some interesting
information on New Brunswick breeding. We categorized some of the
data and came up with the following.</div>

Here is one more
notable fact for New Brunswick. Bayside Katfish (Knight
Champ-Bayside Empress), who was raised at Johnny Rae’s farm in
Dumfries, is the winningest New Brunswick horse in the modern era
with 86 lifetime wins. Next on the list is Galen Dempsey’s
homebred Laurels Curly (Crafty Shadow-Star News) with 81.<span style="color: red;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I have to admit that
I have always been somewhat of a statistical geek. I have an affinity
for numbers and when you combine that with an interest in harness
racing - a business that almost exclusively uses numbers to gauge
itself - it provides an opportunity to evaluate it from different
points of view. After all, we offer race patrons a program full of
numbers and statistical data. Whether it is a horses time in their
last race; the number of wins or dollars earned or maybe just the
betting information, numbers and statistics can play a large role in
this sport.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When Niatross
time-trialed in a world record 1:49.1 in 1980, I remember the harness
racing periodical <i>The Harness Horse</i> arrived in the mailbox
with nothing on its cover but the numbers :27.3-:54.3-1:21.4-1:49.1.
I was a teenager just starting to follow harness racing and the
significance of that cover was not lost on me. I had already
memorized the family tree of all of my relative’s horses and I
understood the importance of Meadow Skipper, Bye Bye Byrd and Adios
in a pedigree. Now harness racing took on a new perspective for me.
Niatross was now the fastest horse of all time and I wanted to know
whose record he eclipsed and how fast they had gone.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I took that interest
to Fredericton Raceway and when I started to work there in 1982 I
went about ensuring that all of the track records were current and
that a list of the Walter Dale winners was easily accessible. Scott
Green has been very helpful in maintaining the integrity of the track
records and assembling timed track records for trotters and pacers
since the track opened in 1887. I also put together a chronological
history of the track.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So with that all
said - and seeing as it is the end of another racing year - I decided
to take a look at New Brunswick’s most prolific horses and their
breeders of all time. I solicited harness racing guru Patrick
Eastwood of Saint John and he provided me some interesting
information on New Brunswick breeding. We categorized some of the
data and came up with the following.</div>

Here is one more
notable fact for New Brunswick. Bayside Katfish (Knight
Champ-Bayside Empress), who was raised at Johnny Rae’s farm in
Dumfries, is the winningest New Brunswick horse in the modern era
with 86 lifetime wins. Next on the list is Galen Dempsey’s
homebred Laurels Curly (Crafty Shadow-Star News) with 81.<span style="color: red;">

When I first came up
with the concept of writing a blog about the most successful horses Fredericton
Raceway ever produced, I wondered if I would be able to determine who the
greatest Fredericton horse of all time was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I soon realized that this would be an impossible task.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you really compare horses from one era to
another?</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I decided that I would focus
on the modern era and I categorized horses based on lifetime records, race
times, money earnings and career wins to see if it made the task of determining
the best any less difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It is important to note
that all of the horses were stabled and trained at Fredericton Raceway at the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beginning</i> of their careers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some were bred in the Fredericton area and
others were purchased at yearling sales in the Maritimes and throughout North
America.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Since there is no one
source to comprise this very specific criteria of horses developed in
Fredericton, I mostly relied on my own recollections and the great memories of
horse people in Fredericton. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The following is a
tribute to the talent of the trainers in Fredericton so here is a look at some
of the best of the modern era.</div>

Jaguar Knight and Spudland Sierra established new standards when they took
their lifetime records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jaguar Knight
paced the Meadowlands in 1:51.2 for Mike Stevenson in May 1994 and became the
fastest Maritime-bred horse of all time and the second fastest Canadian-bred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He held the Maritime-bred distinction for
almost eight years until February 2002 when Dakota Express paced the
Meadowlands in 1:51.1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spudland Sierra’s
win in 1:52.1 for Jody Jamieson in July 2004 was the fastest ever by a New
Brunswick-bred mare and second only to Dexter’s Wine (1:52) by a Maritime-bred
mare at the time.</div>

Classic Gene was a son
of Southampton V-Adele Daeres who was purchased by Carol Thornton and Joan
Sowers for $5,200 in 1979 at a yearling sale in Ontario.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horse was broke and trained by Joan’s
husband Philip Sowers and began his racing career as a two-year-old in
Fredericton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won two races in Saint
John early in his sophomore year, January 1981, and was then sold to U.S.
interests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Later that year he
established a world record for one and one-quarter miles on a five-eighths mile
track at Liberty Bell Park in Philadelphia when he paced in 2:31.2, lowering
Belle Action’s old record of 2:32, established in 1958.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sowers was quoted as saying, “I knew he could
really go a distance but it’s really something to set a world record.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The world record is
currently held by Boulder Creek – 2:19.4.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Classic Gene raced
until the age of eleven and ended his career with 19 wins, $80,256 in earnings
and a lifetime record of 1:58.2m.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Mike started out with a small stable on PEI in the
late 1960’s and brought some horses to Fredericton and Woodstock to race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He saw an opportunity to grow his career and
opened a public stable at the newly formed Wilmot Downs, who were leasing
Fredericton Raceway at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">It didn’t take long before he had his first great
horse. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Warbucks Pick developed into an Invitational horse for
Campbell and owner Russell Embleton, becoming a force in Maritime racing in
1970.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He went on to earn over $10,000
and won 13 races - including the B C Cruickshank in - and was second to
Firebolt in the Gold Cup and Saucer after winning the Inaugural the week
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also won a heat of the
Alexander Memorial, finishing second to Senator George.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">With his career taking off, Mike decided to try
harness racing’s big leagues and took up residence in the State of New York
where he enjoyed success with an award winning trotter named Bob Collins, a New
York Sires Stakes and Free-For -All winner who went on to win 45 races and earn
over $165,000 lifetime.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">But home was calling Mike and wife, Joan, and home for
them was Fredericton Raceway where they set up at the far end of the newly
built barns where they still operate their stable 40 years later. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That stable has seen many notable performers
developed during those 40 years including Igoddago, considered one of the
greatest Maritime-bred performers of all time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Igoddago is a $212,298 career money earner and four-time Fredericton
Raceway Horse of-the-Year who retired in 2010 with a record of 1:54h and 62
lifetime wins; four of them better than 1:55 on Maritime soil and second only
to Dunachton Gale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Campbell also developed other $100,000 plus winners
like Pipe Major, Tidy Point and Knightime Roger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were also horses like North Wind Mac,
Vulga Wil and Starson, who join those four $100,000 winners as horses who have
won over 40 wins each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course all of
those horses were sub-2:00 performers and you can include Grabanabe, Certified,
Igoddarocket, North Wind Molly, Charlottetown and many others and you can see
how Mike Campbell is considered one of the greatest trainers in Fredericton
Raceway history.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Last year he campaigned the three-year-old filly sensation,
Rose Valley, a multiple stakes winner and his fastest mare ever after winning
in 1:56 at Charlottetown proving Campbell’s not ready to call it a career just
yet.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">His first career win came with the veteran J Scotch
Hal in 1968 at Ocean View Park in Shediac.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He has over 1,000 career wins and $1 million in career driving earnings
and now he is honored as the newest member of the Fredericton Raceway Wall of
Fame. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Northern Raucous is considered one of the greatest and
most successful horses to ever come out of Fredericton.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">In 2004, he completed one of the finest three-year-old
seasons ever enjoyed by a local horse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After winning two Ontario Sires Stakes grassroots stakes at Sudbury and
Georgian Downs, the son of Northern Luck easily captured the $100,000 Ontario
Sires Stakes final in 1:53.2 for his owners Albert Goodine and Andrea
Dolan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It capped off a sophomore season
that saw him win $114,853, the richest campaign ever by a Fredericton developed
and owned horse.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Northern Raucous was an $11,000 purchase at the
Canadian Classic yearling sale in 2002 and was turned over to Mike Downey to
learn his early lessons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He surfaced in
June of his freshmen season and promptly reeled off four straight wins for
Downey at Fredericton before being shipped to trainer Jay Cochlin in Ontario to
continue in the stakes program. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
finishing second in his first two stakes appearances at Sudbury and Dresden, he
then won his first stake race at Clinton in 1:58.2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He finished the year with a third-place
finish in the Grassroots semi-final at London.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">That initial stakes success carried over into his

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Northern Raucous went on to race for a number of years
continuing to rack up the wins and the money earnings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He retired in 2011 at the age of ten with 39
lifetime wins and almost $325,000 in lifetime earnings, making him the richest
horse ever developed in Fredericton by far.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

all remember Knightly Glib.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a big
strong gray horse that Bobby Stevenson developed into an Invitational pacer in
the late 1980’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Michael Mackin had purchased
the New Brunswick-bred yearling son of Knightly Blue Chip and, with help from
Ned Lindon, he began his training at the local oval.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He did not make the races as a two-year-old
but made his sophomore debut in the spring of 1986 with new trainer Stevenson.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Knightly
Glib enjoyed a solid three-year-old season, winning five races, and competing
against some better colts at that time including locals Tidy Point and
Balmaghie Breeze.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As
a four-year-old Knightly Glib began to show that he had the making of a top
performer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Early in the season he won
the Single G early closer final in 2:01.1 and then the Canada Day River Jubilee
Pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He went on to have a solid and
consistent year, winning six races including a 2:00.3 record journey at
Champlain Raceway and closed it off by winning the Gerald Giberson Memorial
over Beth Seelster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For his efforts he
was named Horse of-the-Year at Fredericton as well as the Most Improved. </span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But
it was the next year when he really shined, racing and winning against some of
the best horses in the Maritimes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He
won the first two legs of the Labatt Blue Crown series; the opening leg in
1:59.3, which was a new Maritime-bred record for aged geldings which had been
previously held by Heels Lad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there
he went on to Charlottetown, finishing third to New Brunswick rivals, Weston
Miracle and Awjo in the Premiers Pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He then finished fifth in the Gold Cup and Saucer to Beeler Hanover.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He
continued to race the invitational circuit, finishing third to Crimson in the
Provincial Cup and then winning the Lieutenant Governors Invitational but his
greatest achievement came in the FREX Invitational when he defeated top
Free-For-Allers, On Broadway and Courtney Bay in a lifetime best of 1:59,
further reducing his own Maritime record for aged geldings. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He
closed out his Maritime campaign in Saint John winning the Labatt Blue Pacing
Series final over Maple Grove Shadow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Labatt Blue Crown was the premiere racing series during that era and
Knightly Glib finished first or second in all five legs of the fall classic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Completing one of the greatest seasons ever
by a Fredericton-based horse, Knightly Glib had won 13 races against some of
the Maritime’s best. For his efforts he was a repeat winner as Fredericton

the greatest careers of any Fredericton horseman of any era.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly the statistics backs that up.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Downey
is Fredericton’s leading dash winning driver and leading money winning driver
of all time with 2,341 wins and over $3.3 million in career earnings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mike’s
first win came behind an old mare his father, Cerdic, had bred and raced by the
name of Gwens Pal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That came at
Fredericton Raceway in September of 1969.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The time of the mile was 2:16.4 and it was 20 seconds slower than his
fastest ever winning drive, 1:56.2, which was with the Invitational pacer,
Speedy AJ, at Truro in 2001.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It
took Mike 15 years to record 500 career wins but only five years to record his
next 500 enjoying his most productive Maritime years in the mid to late
1980’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From 1983 to 1987, which was
during the heighth of Maritime harness racing’s most thriving time of the
modern era, he averaged 125 wins per season, his best in 1985, where he
campaigned in Fredericton and at the newly opened Champlain Raceway in
Dieppe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That year he had 170 wins and
over $116,000 earned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike’s 1,000<sup>th</sup>
win came with Avon Blazer that same year.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">With
his driving success, Mike Downey is still probably better known for the horses
he has trained and developed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There has
been so many over his 45 plus years that I’m sure he has forgotten some of them
but these are a few that we all remember.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A
chance meeting with local entrepreneur, David Kileel, in 1976 resulted in
Downey receiving a yearling roan colt by the name of Glengyle Kestrel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We came to know the horse by his new name,
Daily Special, and this colt became one of the most accomplished horses to ever
come out of Fredericton and Downey’s career took off with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Daily Special was the Atlantic Sires Stakes
two-year-old champion the next year and a multi-stake winner at three but is better
known for breaking Walter Dale’s 42-year-old track record by one-tenth of a
second in the summer of 1979.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That
relationship with Kileel produced many outstanding horses over the years
including the invitational pacer, Special Reward, two-year-old Atlantic Sires Stake
champion, Chop Suey, stake winners Ketchup and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some Nice and Beth Seelster, the first mare to
ever pace better than 2:00 in the Maritimes.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mike
also developed and raced one of the most successful three-year-old fillies of
our generation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tar Dee Finesse, who was
later named All Finesse, was the Atlantic Sires Stakes champion in 1983 winning
13 of 23 races.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time she was the
fastest sophomore filly ever and set track records at Fredericton, Sackville
Downs and Charlottetown.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Of
course, Mike Downey’s stakes success was not limited to the Maritimes carrying
over to the Ontario program after moving there in the late 1980’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It started almost immediately with the multiple
stakes winning trotter, Balance Of Trade, owned by John MacLean, Ronald Mitton
and John Breau of Moncton, the same combination who had previous success in the
Maritimes with the 1985 Atlantic Sires Stakes three-year-old trot champion,
Jerry Jeff, who Downey also campaigned.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The
two-year-old filly, Dancing My Way, was a four-time Ontario Sires Stakes winner
in 1992, earning over $129,000 and there were also other stake performers like
Ride Again and Shawnie Seelster during his time there.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mike
has been home for the past 15 years and the perennial dash winner at
Fredericton was stabled here until moving to Saint John last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even after coming home he was still training
and racing great horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He developed
Northern Raucous, who we just inducted into the Wall of Fame, Sealcrest Dragon
and Bear Island Tyler, all of whom went on to take sub-1:55 records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bear Island Tyler gave Mike his 2,000 win in
2005.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He’s
enjoyed great success with the New Zealand-bred horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knight Stalker N won the FREX Invitational in
2002; Cams Man NZ won the Papermaker Pace the same year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We mentioned Tigerbird earlier with Ashley
Sloat, probably Mike’s best Invitational horse.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It
has been an incredible career, maybe never paralleled in Fredericton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike is known as one of the hardest working
horsemen in the business and one of the nicest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At one time he was one of the best known sporting personalities in
Fredericton and his career paralleled the success Fredericton Raceway enjoyed
during the robust 1980s.</span></span><br />

is no denying Ashley Sloat has been one of the most successful owners in the
history of Fredericton Raceway highlighted by the many free-for-all pacers he
is bought over the years including Gold Cup and Saucer winner, Tigerbird, and
Shannon Commander, who held the track record in Fredericton for 19 years until
2012.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thirty-five
years ago Ashley and his wife Joan - who owned all of the horses with him through
the years - started off by acquiring Charberlyn Streak from Charlie Forbes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Notice I said acquire and not purchase
because a story persists that she may have changed hands in a card game!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The locally-bred mare developed lameness
issues almost immediately and the Sloats were off to an auspicious start in the
horse ownership game.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ashley
was undaunted however and, looking for a “good horse” with the encouragement of
other horse friends like Albert Goodine, Doug Baker and Bill Thornton, he
journey with trainer Mike Campbell to a mixed sale at Liberty Bell in the
spring of 1979 and promptly purchased three race horses:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fools Pleasure, Lumont and J Js Happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lumont was supposed to the star of the bunch
having earned over $30,000 and taking a fast record the previous year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was Fools Pleasure who gave Ashley his
first victory in the top class at Fredericton a couple of months later in what
was the first Dr. J.A. Williamson Memorial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ashley said at the time, “The whole experience of going to the sale and
coming back with horses that are capable of racing against some of the best
horses on the grounds is one that truly excites me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lumont didn’t quite live up to expectations
though he was named Fredericton Raceway’s horse of the year in 1982.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That
was just the beginning for Ashley as he continued to seek out horses that, not
only could compete with the best horses in Fredericton, but to race the best
the Maritimes had on offer and, to do that, he decided to invest in even better
quality horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that’s what he did
when he purchased Tigerbird for $28,000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He would become the horse that would take Ashley and Joan on a ride of a
lifetime in the late 1980’s along with trained-driver Mike Downey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1989 Tigerbird won the $12,000 Provincial
Cup in Truro over Maritime sensation, Kilkerran Fury and he only got better
from there.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After
winning the Robert McCain Memorial the next year, Tigerbird gave Ashley, Joan
and Mike their first Gold Cup and Saucer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He did it the hard way, grinding out a first-over effort that he had
become known for.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It
was only a couple of years later when Ashley purchased Shannon Commander and
after toiling with Mike Downey at Flamboro in the early part of his career
where he named the top three-year-old in 1991, he came home for the Walter Dale
Memorial in 1993 and Garry MacDonald drove the horse to a Maritime-record
setting 1:55 track-record mile, the fastest ever over a half-mile in the
Maritimes at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fifteen years
after purchasing their first horse, Ashley and Joan finally were able to
enjoying the crowning achievement at their home track just as they set out to
do all those years ago.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In
spite of reaching the pinnacle of harness racing Ashely didn’t stop investing
in the harness racing business and continued to buy quality race horses like
Look Maynard, who gave him his second Walter Dale winner in 2000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is the only Fredericton owner to ever win
the Canada’s longest running Invitational race two times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had other Invitational horse like Horan
Hanover, winner of the Governors Plate, and Armbro Foxy, who broke the track
record in Bangor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Olympic Mark won the
Wal Hannessey Memorial and there were other horses like Up Front Richie, Point
and Click, Star Track, Bargain Harrods, Putthehammerdown, Virtual reality, Avon
Blazer, Woodmere Andy, Florida Thorpe, Assert and many others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You might also recall Quick Comeback who
raced for Sloat but is better known as an outstanding sire in New Brunswick and
his breeding credits include Clinton Debriefed, one of the best New
Brunswick-bred horses ever.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Speaking
of breeding Ashley and Joan even dabbled a little in that area as well at their
home in Deerwood Acres and produced R L Geordie, R L Kash, Deerwood Dawn and
the stakes winning mare, Wiper Clean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Incidentally the R L Stands for “rock ledge” on which their home and
land sat on in that area of the Hanwell.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ashley
also drove a little bit as well and Exford Ayr gave him his first lifetime win
in 1982.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He served on the board of the
FREX for 12 years and was active in the Fredericton Horsemen’s
Association.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The local businessman
invested a lot of time and money in the industry and tonight we recognize those
efforts by his induction into the Fredericton Raceway Wall of Fame.</span></span></div>

For the record, let me
state that Bill Sharon may be the greatest horse ever developed at Fredericton
Raceway.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The chestnut stallion
was foaled at Samuel J. Boyle’s Fredericton farm on September 1, 1915.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was undefeated in Fredericton as a four
and five-year-old and then sold to Tommy Murphy of Poughkeepsie, NY for
$25,000, a record price for a Canadian standardbred horse.</div>

On August 17, 1922 he
became the first Canadian-bred horse to trot better than 2:05 at Narberth,
Pennsylvania when he won consecutive heats in 2:05 ¼ -2:04 ¼ - 2:06 ¼ against
world class trotters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also became the
first Maritime-bred to trot <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">or pace </i></b>a mile better than 2:05 on
any North American track.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Bill Sharon raced for
seven seasons and established two Canadian records and more than a dozen track
records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His legendary career ended back
in the Maritimes and when he returned to Fredericton in September 1928<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was written that he was “in the midst of
the greatest comebacks the Down East has ever known.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
But his career ended
suddenly at Island Park in Woodstock later that year when he dropped dead after
the second heat of his final start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
was buried in the centerfield of the track which is now underwater after being
flooded by the construction of the Mactaquac dam in 1967.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Bill Sharon was
inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2000.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
No other horse
developed in Fredericton has those credentials but does that make him the best
of all time?</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
When I first came up
with the concept of writing a blog about the most successful horses Fredericton
Raceway ever produced, I wondered if I would be able to determine who the
greatest Fredericton horse of all time was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I soon realized that this would be an impossible task.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you really compare horses from one era to
another?</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I decided that I would focus
on the modern era and I categorized horses based on lifetime records, race
times, money earnings and career wins to see if it made the task of determining
the best any less difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It is important to note
that all of the horses were stabled and trained at Fredericton Raceway at the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beginning</i> of their careers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some were bred in the Fredericton area and
others were purchased at yearling sales in the Maritimes and throughout North
America.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Since there is no one
source to comprise this very specific criteria of horses developed in
Fredericton, I mostly relied on my own recollections and the great memories of
horse people in Fredericton. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The following is a
tribute to the talent of the trainers in Fredericton so here is a look at some
of the best of the modern era.</div>

It should be noted that
Jaguar Knight and Spudland Sierra established new standards when they took
their lifetime records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jaguar Knight
paced the Meadowlands in 1:51.2 for Mike Stevenson in May 1994 and became the
fastest Maritime-bred horse of all time and the second fastest Canadian-bred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He held the Maritime-bred distinction for
almost eight years until February 2002 when Dakota Express paced the
Meadowlands in 1:51.1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spudland Sierra’s
win in 1:52.1 for Jody Jamieson in July 2004 was the fastest ever by a New
Brunswick-bred mare and second only to Dexter’s Wine (1:52) by a Maritime-bred
mare at the time.</div>

Classic Gene was a son
of Southampton V-Adele Daeres who was purchased by Carol Thornton and Joan
Sowers for $5,200 in 1979 at a yearling sale in Ontario.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horse was broke and trained by Joan’s
husband Philip Sowers and began his racing career as a two-year-old in
Fredericton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won two races in Saint
John early in his sophomore year, January 1981, and was then sold to U.S.
interests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Later that year he
established a world record for one and one-quarter miles on a five-eighths mile
track at Liberty Bell Park in Philadelphia when he paced in 2:31.2, lowering
Belle Action’s old record of 2:32, established in 1958.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sowers was quoted as saying, “I knew he could
really go a distance but it’s really something to set a world record.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

<span lang="EN-CA">The daughter
of Brandon’s Cowboy was a $5,500 purchase by Dawn and Ted Bremner at the 2011 Atlantic
Classic Yearling Sale in PEI.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Over
the previous 25 years, Rose Valley’s owners had enjoyed quite a bit of success
raising and racing many of their home-breds under the moniker “North Wind”; the
name coming from a famous turn-of-the-century horse from their hometown of
Gagetown, NB.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, on this
particular occasion Dawn and Ted Bremner chose to go a different route by
purchasing a yearling and they asked their long-time trainer to pick out
a horse he liked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I
have to give my brother, Jimmy, credit for helping select her,” Campbell said
from his barn at Fredericton Raceway where he has been stabled since 1974,
though he did spend a few years in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s in Moncton racing
at NB Downs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He went around to some of
the breeding farms in PEI prior to the sale and saw her at Meridian and told me
to take a look at her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had picked out four
or five horses at the sale but when I saw her I said, ‘This is the one I want.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I
knew Dawn and Ted liked fillies and I really liked her overall look so I bought
her.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Rose
Valley was an easy filly to break and although she didn’t necessarily standout
in the early stages, it wasn’t long before Campbell began to sense that he
could have a decent filly on his hands.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Once
she started to train a few miles I started to feel that she may be good enough
to race in the stake races,” Campbell recalled. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“She loved her work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes fillies have a mind of their own
and don’t take to training as easy as a colt might, but she had a great
attitude.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Early
on he realized that he had to make some adjustments to her jogging and training
routine which have also carried over into her racing career the past two years.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“She’s
a little bit flighty with high energy so it takes a little more work than it
would for some fillies to keep her at a certain level," he said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> "</span>She always got a little extra jogging but always
took to it well.”</span><br />
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Although
Rose Valley trained down good, she didn’t necessarily show more than any of the other good
horses Campbell had trained over the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose Valley was a just a few weeks away from qualifying when he came in one
morning and she had injured her hind leg in the stall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was bitter irony as he had been trying to
temper his enthusiasm as the stakes season approached.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“She
had gone some training miles better than 2:20 and her owners came in to watch
her one day,” he said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I told them, ‘I
have a feeling that we got a really good filly’ but I remember thinking that I
didn’t want to say too much because there is nothing worse than overrating a horse
and getting your hopes up and then, all of a sudden, something happens and
you’re in for a big disappointment.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Campbell’s
thoughts had been prophetic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">It was
almost two months and another minor setback later before she would be ready to
race and by then she had already missed a large part of the stakes season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After making a pair of starts in the maiden
classes during FREX, Rose Valley won in 2:03 on September 18, 2012 by 17
lengths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">It was
an indicator to Campbell that she was finally ready to make her presence felt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though it was getting late in the
season, he decided to take Rose Valley to Charlottetown to see how she would
handle the track in anticipation of a Lady Slipper Grassroots Stake at the end
of October.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She ended up easily winning in
a lifetime best of 2:01.3 for new driver Ken Arsenault.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose Valley carried that momentum into the Lady
Slipper three weeks later, winning in 2:03 after which Arsenault told him, ‘I
think we got an “A” filly for next year.’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I
knew long before that,” Campbell laughed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">It
would be the final start of the season for Rose Valley and with three wins in
five starts and encouraging words from Arsenault, Campbell started to plan
ahead for her three-year-old season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was a group decision to keep Rose Valley at the track in Fredericton and part
of the strategy was to keep the high-energy filly from potentially hurting
herself if she had been turned out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I already
felt that she was the best filly I ever had and I have had some good ones over
the years,” he said rhyming off names like Vulga Wil and Misty Hill Mary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“In the day they were my heroes but I felt this
filly could be better than them.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Rose
Valley resurfaced in May of this year and after winning an overnight race in
Fredericton, she promptly <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-3EFciKWf0" target="_blank">went to Truro and won her first Atlantic Sires Stakes event of the season</a> for Arsenault, who would drive her in all but two of her stake

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Winning
the consolation made up for the disappointment of losing out in the draw for
the $22,000 final.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose Valley was one
of three horses who had tied for seventh with ten points earned in Atlantic
Sires Stakes events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With only the top

<span lang="EN-CA">However,
Campbell takes some of the responsibility for not earning enough points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said himself and the owners were very
deliberate when mapping out a racing schedule for Rose Valley’s sophomore
campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with only five Atlantic
Sires Stake events (the number cut short by the withdrawal of New Brunswick on
the eve of the season) they still chose not to go to North Sydney or Inverness which
more than likely cost them valued points needed to secure a place in the
championship final. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After winning an
overnight event to start the season, Rose Valley only participated in specific
stake races close to home, sometimes going two or three weeks between
starts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

Campbell said while making no apologies. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We picked our spots and took no chances with

<span lang="EN-US">During
2009, Horse Racing New Brunswick (HRNB) expanded simulcast and inter-track
betting in Fredericton to seven nights a week at Winners Lounge and the numbers
took an immediate jump, peaking in 2011 with $857,404.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last year it dipped to $797,168, a 7%
decrease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, the projection is
an encouraging $840,488 and that could possibly increase when The Meadowlands
re-opens in late November.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">The
simulcast and inter-track betting in Saint John is troublesome because it has
been showing a regular decrease every year for the past five years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2009, Saint John wagered $5,145,998 but,
as of last year, that number has dropped by almost $1 million to
$4,170,536.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More disconcerting is that
the projection this year is for only $3,426,643, a decline of almost one-third
in five years.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

quick overview of the numbers suggest that this decline has been more notable
on Canadian racetracks whereas the FRITB (foreign pool host racetrack, ie.

dropped to $949,976 (down 24%) over the next 12 months and this year the

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;">
I grew up around horse
racing and my first job was working for Brian Embleton at Fredericton Raceway during
the summer of Clipper Seelster’s historic journey in 1982. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My primary job was to assist the race office
and write a column for Atlantic Post Calls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In those days we raced two times a week and the APC published on a
weekly basis, so I was usually pretty busy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I took the time to
learn about the operation of a racetrack and Embleton was a great teacher who
helped pave the way to my becoming a race track manager many years later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An early lesson for me was him getting on the
telephone to the local radio stations on the afternoon of a race day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was looking to drum up some promotional
air time for Fredericton Raceway; trying to get the local DJ’s and news and
sports people to talk about the race program that night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
He did that when
Clipper Seelster came to town - acting on a hunch that something special was
going to happen that evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was motivated
to get more people out to the track hoping it would translate into a solid
night at the mutuels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back then a race
track manager would measure his success by the pari-mutuel handle and the
attendance - remember when you used to have to pay admittance to the racetrack?
- which usually went hand in hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
He was disappointed
that night, however, though certainly not because of what happened on the
racetrack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The disappointment came from
the race program only generating a wager of $30,000.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
You see, thirty years
ago, in an age when there was no simulcast, no inter-track wagering or
teletheatres, no VLT’s or Coasters lounges and tickets were purchased $2.00 at
a time, an on-track wager of $30,000 was still considered a disappointment on a
Monday evening in July.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hoped Thursday
night would be better though, after all it was a payday in Fredericton.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Flash forward almost
ten years and Fredericton Raceway experienced its biggest live wager ever on
July 1, 1991.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was Race Secretary by
that time and horses were plentiful so I was able to assemble a big 16-dash
holiday card highlighted by the Walter Dale Memorial and the Atlantic Sires
Stakes pacing show, featuring<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the three-year-old pacing colts and fillies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It was like a Fredericton
version of the ‘Breeders Crown’ and the Canada Day afternoon super card was a
big draw for horses, owners and their families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The place was packed with race fans and bettors and at the end of the
day the wager was $116,997 for the sixteen races, an average of $7,312 per dash
and a new program high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
This historic occasion
was recorded in traditional Fredericton fashion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was triumphantly scribbled (probably by
Frank Donovan) on the wooden wall in the office under the grandstand, the
previous high scratched out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The only time wagering ever
surpassed that high mark was during a couple of FREX weeks but they were always
double-header cards and the combined totals of two programs would have exceeded
$116,979.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Of course, the 1980’s
and early 1990’s were the high point of live wagering in Fredericton and the handle
has been on a steady 20-year decline since then.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I became the General
Manager of Fredericton Raceway in the early 2000’s and during my seven years
there and I was able to anticipate consistent numbers at the mutuels, though
not the high marks of the previous decades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Canada Day super card would traditionally average $3,000 per dash
and the two-year-old Atlantic Sires Stakes races on the New Brunswick Day
holiday program were around $2,200-$2,500.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>FREX week was good for $2,500 per dash - sometimes higher - and the
regular over night events started out around $800 in May and June, building up
to $1,200 by July, depending on the weather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the end of the year the bottom line was always the same -
$1,500-$1,600 per dash except for my final year in 2008 when it was just under $1,400.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;">
This year in Fredericton
the average for a live race program was only $805 per dash, the lowest number
in decades and more than 40% less than it was five years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the live wager has dropped steadily and
significantly since 2008.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The numbers
per race:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Fredericton had been one
of the wagering leaders in the Maritimes through the last decade but now
lingers in the bottom three along with the other New Brunswick track,
Exhibition Park Raceway in Saint John.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is also interesting to note that, although Saint John has the worst
live wagering numbers in the Maritimes ($523) by about 30%; their numbers have
remained steady within 3%, suggesting that they themselves have bottomed out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
There are various
reasons why live wagering has reached this very low point in New Brunswick and maybe
that can be a blog for another day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I laud the efforts of
HRNB and their endeavor to form a mutually beneficial business partnership with
Atlantic Lottery Corporation for the future but, if they are successful, they
must learn from the failings of the administrators of the industry in Ontario
which means not getting caught up in the trappings of the VLT revenue at the
expense of the personal experience at the racetrack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not sure we are as friendly and welcoming
as we could be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
We need to revisit
harness racing’s roots and remind ourselves about what made those times so
successful and try to abstain from blaming lotteries and government for where
we find ourselves today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The time for
blame has passed and, besides, it is not all their fault.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The focus should be on the
relationship between the harness racing industry and its most important
customer - the person who comes to the racetrack to get close to the excitement
of the sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not just about the patron
who wants to drop his money in a VLT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
More importantly, it’s about
the guy - or girl - who may like the horses or enjoys the competitiveness of
racing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe he’ll want to buy a horse himself
some day, or with some friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe
they will bring their friends to the track and spend a few dollars at the
wickets, something we have seen in Fredericton in the recent past. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
A good experience
starts with a professional presentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We need an operating tote board that displays real time odds for the
novice and serious bettor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
critical and I am sure it has been a detriment to live wagering in the province
the past two years, especially in Fredericton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The local newspaper once referred to it as “Mickey Mouse” which does
nothing to enhance the image of the sport in the eyes of many.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>

A consistent race
schedule is important as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we
want patrons to come to the track they actually have to know when to come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The racing schedule in Fredericton has
literally changed from year to year but the tourism brochures in the city still
have harness racing running on Thursday nights at 7:00 pm though that hasn’t
actually happened in over two years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
don’t get me started about the radio ads that ran this year promoting harness
racing at Fredericton Raceway on Saturdays it wasn’t even open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(That happened last weekend and the track has
been closed for almost three weeks)</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Circuit racing needs to
be considered in this province and this business of alternating weeks has been
a failure when patrons demand a consistent schedule that is familiar and easy
to follow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
And while you always
have to grow and change with the times, it might also be helpful to take a look
back to the days when Fredericton enjoyed some of its greatest successes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
When New Brunswick again
hosts the Atlantic Sires Stakes program (not if, I’m an optimist), go back to
the traditional dates and turn the holiday cards into <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">events</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stakes program
brings the horses, their owners and their families to the race track.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will bring locals to the track and bettors
from out of town.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Most importantly, it
will create an atmosphere at the racetrack, just like it did a few years ago
when crowds would line the racetrack to watch <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and wager</i> on the horses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Of course, it will take
much more than these few points to reverse the current wagering trends and I’m
certainly not implying that we ignore the changes taking place in our
business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having VLTs at racetracks and
capitalizing on the technology now available to wager on our product off-site
has a significant place as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I just believe that
bringing people to the track and betting on the horses are the foundation of
our industry and potentially the greatest source of growth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I don’t expect we’ll
ever scratch out the number 116,997 on the wall but it can serve as a reminder of how great
things were and should be.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I wonder if it is still
on the wall in that back office. Maybe next summer I’ll
go back and find that out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
I hope I have to fight
through a crowd to get there.<br />
<br />
Just like I used to.</div>

Overall wagering in New
Brunswick is down approximately 15% so far this year compared to 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the next few weeks, I’ll bring you an
in-depth look at the wagering trends in the province over the past five years
and I will break down where the money is actually coming from.

Connell Park Raceway in
Woodstock will be celebrating an anniversary of sorts this year when its hosts it’s
only card of harness racing this Friday, August 2, 2013.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It will be the 45<sup>th</sup>
year at the current location in Connell Park, which was named after one of
Woodstock’s most famous citizens, Charles Connell, who was an MLA for Carleton
County from 1846-1867 and in 1859, was appointed to the position of Postmaster
General. </div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
However, the
picturesque track in Connell Park was not the first location for horse racing
in Woodstock.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
While many believe that
Island Park (which was also known as the Parlor Track) was the original place -
which was located in the heart of the Saint John River between Woodstock and
Grafton - that is actually not the case.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
In 1878, the Carleton
County Agricultural Society purchased a small piece of property that
constituted what was part of the site where the old Valley Railway Station
would later stand - at the end of Broadway Street in Lower Woodstock - to hold
the annual Exhibition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(The agricultural
exhibition had its origins on the grounds of the old Court House in Upper
Woodstock beginning in 1852)</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
An additional 14 acres
adjoining the future Valley Railway Station location was purchased and the foundation
was laid for a harness racing track that was known as the Woodstock Trotting
Park.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The old Woodstock
Trotting Parks site is currently occupied by a lumber yard located on Phillips
Drive (off of Charles Street) which ends where the homestretch would have began
and leads onto the current Sentier NB Trail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The homestretch was where the CN rail tracks were laid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Town veterans used to say that each time the
train came up the track; it would “steam right up the old homestretch.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
On July 1, 1881 the first
real horse race took place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were
three races that day and the final race was for Open trotters, best three out
of five one-mile heats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were four
horses from Woodstock entered and after two of the horses were disqualified for
false starts, a horse named Bright trotted flawlessly, winning three straight
heats in 2:40 – 2:40 ¼ - 2:41.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
While race meets were
sporadic over the years, by 1904, the Exhibition finally established itself as
an annual event with harness racing as a co-existing feature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Over the next eight
years the Carleton County Agricultural Society continued to hold its Exhibition
and harness racing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>However, in 1912
they were forced to sell the property with the laying of the Valley Railway and
the erection of the Valley Railway Station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The track record would forever be held by Silk Patchen, who paced in
2:13 ¼ in 1909.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The Carleton County
Agricultural Society then purchased 18 acres on Smiths Flats, located down the
River Road in Woodstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A racetrack was
surveyed and preparations were made to build a new Exhibition Park complete
with new Exhibition buildings and a grandstand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But with the onset of the First World War in 1914, efforts to complete
the project were postponed and later cancelled, though local recreational horse
racing continued to take place at that location through the war years.</div>

Island Park was a
unique 70-acre island that had a long history of being a campground and a base
for salmon fishing for the Maliseet peoples and later as fertile farm lands in
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
By 1905, it was in the
hands of a local farmer by the name of Charles Rogers and he had built an
approach from the main bridge to the island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For the first time it was accessible by means other than the use of a
boat.</div>

In 1909, it was
purchased by the Connell estate with the idea of forming it into a free public
park for the citizens of Woodstock, complete with a grandstand, baseball
diamond, picnic area and other recreational amenities including a miniature
railway where you could ride the train at one time for just a nickel.</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The Carleton County
Agricultural Society ended up leasing the central part of the island for their
Exhibitions and harness racing in 1918 for the perpetual annual cost of $1. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It was reported that it
cost $50,000 to construct the track and all of the Exhibition buildings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The late Henry DeWitt and Bob Hamilton
built the racetrack that was reputed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“…to
be the best this side of Springfield, Mass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The grandstand which is capable of seating two thousand people has been
erected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the features of this
grandstand is the fact that from it the hoofs of every horse can be seen all
the way round the track.</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">”</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
When Island Park first
opened for harness racing on August 19, 1919, it was said that it was “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the only racetrack in the Maritime Provinces
with the regulation width of sixty-five feet in the homestretch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had been well named by the horsemen of the
Province, the Parlor Track.”</i></div>

During the first meet,
the first race in Maritime harness racing history for a purse of $1,000 was
held.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It was the beginning of an era when
harness racing was thriving and driving clubs in Atlantic Canada and Maine
boasted of “community-owned” horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many of these cities spent significant amounts of money to import pacing
stars to take a run at track records or rival community horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During that time driving clubs flourished and
these “community-owned” horses were a civic boast.</span></div>

first to usher in this new era when they went to the United States and
purchased<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the champion three-year-old
pacing stallion on a half-mile track, Oro Fino p.3,2:03 ¼.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next year, on July 13, 1920, Oro Fino
lowered the track record at Island Park to 2:11.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That record only lasted a year until Canadian
Racing Hall of Fame horse, John R Braden, invaded the Maritimes from Presque
Isle, Maine.</span></div>

island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, many of the provincial agricultural

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A 54-year career as a harness horse trainer and driver and winning at
least $3.5 million in prize money must mean something to a fellow.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“It’s meant a happy life and a profitable one,” says Earle Avery,
Woodstock’s Mr. Harness Racing.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The only problem is he isn’t so sure now that he should have stopped at
54 years in the business.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">After one of the most illustrious careers on the wealthiest North
American circuits, Avery decided to call it quits in the fall of 1972.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Although he was the oldest active driver on the on the greater New York
racing scene at the time, the harness fraternity all over the continent was
shocked when it heard of his decision.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Many of his friends, including fellow drivers and trainers, rallied to
Earle Avery Night on the eve of September 26, 1972 at Yonkers Raceway, New
York.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such veterans as Paul Vineyard,
Hugh Bell, Harry Pownall and Morris MacDonald showed up for the gala which saw
Earle presented with the Grand Circuit Award of Merit Medal among other gifts
and awards for his long and satisfying career.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In retrospect, Avery thinks the decision was perhaps a little too
hasty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“When I retired in ’72, I just
said to everybody that I was retiring this fall and the first thing I knew they
were giving a night for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it hadn’t
been for the party maybe I wouldn’t have retired after all.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I’d rather train a few horses than do anything.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That sounds rather strange, you might say, coming from a man of 81.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But Earle Avery is not your normal elder statesman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only does he look a quarter of a century
younger, he’s also bustling with energy.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I’m always moving around and doing something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t sit still,” he says puffing a cigar
as he leads you down into the basement of his suburban Woodstock home where his
den is situated.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">There you’ll find ample proof of Avery’s many accomplishments in the
sport of harness racing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trophies,
awards, plaques, photographs – mementos by the scores are laid out all around
the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would be an impossible chore
to chronicle what they’re all for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’ve
got so many things that I don’t know what’s what,” he admits.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Through his 54 years, Avery claimed over 4,000 victories.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But only 1,250 of those are official within the United States Trotting
Association.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest were made before
the days of the U.S.T.A.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was when
Earle was racing in Canada and at fairground tracks around the eastern United
States.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He claims to have set nine world trotting and pacing records during his
career with Egyptian Princess, Whleen Fingo, Mr. Bloom, Black Peter, Love Song,
Muncy Hanover, Porterhouse, Hillsota, and perhaps the greatest of them all, the
famous Meadow Skipper.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery’s horses earned an estimated $3.5 million during his half century
of racing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of that was one for
Norman Woolworth, the proprietor of the Clearview Stables of New Canaan, Connecticut
for whom Earle had been the private contract driver for his last 15 years.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Avery-Woolworth relationship was one of the best known in harness
racing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earle praised Woolworth as an
owner “who never interfered with me at the horse sales or during racing
season.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery is credited with one of the smartest deals in the sport when he
advised Woolworth to buy a young colt called Meadow Skipper for $100,000 in
1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meadow Skipper rewarded Woolworth
and Avery with big purse cheques and fast times and became one of the most
successful young sires in the U.S.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
of his greatest sons is the mighty Albatross, the world’s fastest standardbred.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery himself declares that Meadow Skipper was the greatest horse he
ever reined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He was perfect,” says Avery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He didn’t break fast, but when he got wound
up, he couldn’t be stopped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to
consider him the best horse I ever trained.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Earle remembers fondly the day he purchased Meadow Skipper for
Woolworth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He was three years old in
April when I got him and I got him in June.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And they were off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meadow
Skipper went on to become a legend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
colt was one of the fastest horses in history and also returned good money for
stud fees after the horse was retired in 1969.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Under Avery’s guidance, Meadow Skipper developed into one of the
greatest pacers ever to hit a racetrack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the colt’s first season as a three-year-old Avery drove him to many
track records – including a clocking of 1:55.1 in the 1963Poplar Hill Stake at
Lexington, Kentucky – a world’s harness mark at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The day I went in 1:55.1, it was something
unheard of then.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the fastest
mile he ever drove.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery remembers that race.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meadow Skipper assumed command just past the quarter pole in 28.4 with
Overtrick tucked in the two-hole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They

the half in 57.1 and the three-quarters in 1:26.1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then down the stretch Overtrick surged ahead

extraordinary courage, Meadow Skipper fought back and edged his great rival at

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meadow Skipper’s toughness was exemplified also in his
record-shattering performance in the William H. Cane Futurity stake race at Yonkers.

over Super Gold and Overtrick.</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In addition to a great money winner as a racer, Meadow Skipper also
made a lot of money for its owner when he was put out to pasture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stallion’s stud fees are $10,000 for a
colt, says Earle, since he was retired in 1969.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In addition to Albatross, he sired the likes of Sir Carleton, Blue
Skipper, Song, First Family, Joe’s Skipper, Clotheshorse, etc.</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Two prestigious events which eluded Avery however were the Little Brown
Jug at New Point, Illinois and the Hambletonian at Du Quoin, llinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He came close in the Little Brown Jug one
year when he steered Muncy Hanover home in 1:58.3 to win the heat but didn’t
win the final.</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery won all the top money races.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He drove Bright Night to victory on July 30, 1959 in the Empire Pace at

in history at the time of $123,700.</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery trained the first 28 years of his career at Woodstock’s old
Island Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He raced horses, however
all over the Maritimes and eastern United States.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He relocated for good in the U.S. in 1948, after he’d raised his two
sons, Bob and Blair, here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Earle had been driving and training “about 30” horses for C.T. Black, a
local auto dealer in Woodstock who was heavily invested in harness horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Black started sending him down around New
York often and before long “I got acquainted with everything and I stayed
there.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">From that year until he retired, Avery and his wife, Elizabeth, lived
like nomads throughout the U.S. going from one harness track to the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We lived in four or five different mobile
homes until I moved back here two years ago last October,” says Avery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s not the kind of life that everyone is
cut out for, but our family was all grown up and we enjoyed every minute of
it.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Most any fellow that ever got started in it, stayed with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just became your life after awhile.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Before long he got in with Woolworth and other wealthy horse owners and
he had it made.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Since retiring Earle still keeps up steady correspondence with many of
his old cronies around New York and placed down in the states.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“They’ve used me good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still go down, too, once in a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’re always glad to see me and I’m glad to
see them.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Mr. Woolworth calls me regularly and tells me how his horses are
doing.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Earle, naturally, has been a close observer of the N.B. harness racing
scene since he’s back home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s
especially impressed with the ever-increasingly professional look of Saint
John’s Exhibition Park Raceway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“In
Saint John they’ve had some good horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They seem to be doing alright.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He’s also glad to see the revival of harness racing here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Organizers plan to run 10 cards at Connell
Park this summer which is probably more cards staged at Woodstock since Island
Park was destroyed to make way for the Mactaquac Dam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Connell Park was built in its place and a few
races had been held there every year up until last summer when there was none.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But the Maritime competition can’t compare with the big time United
States circuits “where the horses cost more money and they have the biggest
purses.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the main reason why
Earle decided to spend the most productive years of his career there.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Avery emphatically insists he never threw a race in his life. “I never
threw a race. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Drivers get 10% of
winnings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A man any good at all can pick
up $100 or $200 a night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why would they
throw a race?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, I can’t speak
for everybody.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What does it take to train a horse successfully?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Good help,” says Earle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“A man
can’t do it alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a good man
helping me train in my later years with Woolworth, Glydon Willis from
Kensington, PEI.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s taken over as
Woolworth’s trainer now that I’m gone.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“It takes patience to train a good horse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About a month or so should give you a pretty
good idea if the horse is going to be any good to you.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“There’s so many ways to tell a good horse…look at him from the ground
up – what kind of feet and legs has he got.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’ll give you a pretty good answer.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“And then of course you have to use the horse right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can’t go pulling and jerking on him.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Earle Avery grew up in the small village of Jacksonville, outside of
Woodstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was raised on a farm and
was the third oldest in a family of seven children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he was a boy “father always used to have
colts around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was riding them since I
was 11.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">His love for horses came early and it has never left him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After he retired from active driving, Avery
purchased a couple of two-year-old colts and trained them at Pinehurst, NC
“just for something to do.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After they
were trained he gave them away.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Since he’s become reestablished in Woodstock, Avery is a familiar
habitant at Connell Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
five-foot-nine, 180 pounds, Earle has maintained the same weight as he carried
during his prime and he still looks pretty much the same.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">If you happen to pay a visit to Connell Park, the fellows hanging
around the stables there will tell you that old Earle is someone drivers and
trainers are constantly seeking advice from.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And when the old master goes out to the stables himself, well he’s
right in his element.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He bought a couple
of horses last September, Linda Stone and Wil-Lor-Fin, which he plans to train
himself.</i></div>

Morey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Neither of them has had a
harness on them before,”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>claims Earle,
as he takes hold of Linda Stone’s halter and leads her out of her stall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He can prove that he can still handle a

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
New Brunswick harness
racing legend, Earle Avery, proved that you can never be too old to dream and
have it come true.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
In 1948, at the age of
54, when many start pondering their retirement, Avery and his wife, Elizabeth,
left a life of farming and racing horses in Woodstock, NB and the state of
Maine, picked up and moved to harness racing’s greener pastures in the United
States.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Avery became associated
with, arguably, the greatest pacing horse in the history of harness racing, Meadow
Skipper, when he convinced owner Norman Woolworth to purchase him 50 years ago,
in the spring of 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Meadow Skipper went on
to become a world champion race horse for Avery, pacing Lexington Kentucky’s
famed Red Mile in 1:55.1 in October 1963, and later became one of the most
prolific stallions of the 20<sup>th</sup> century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His influence on breeding is still being felt
today as many current stars of harness racing can trace their roots back to
Meadow Skipper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It was the continuation
of what would become a Hall of Fame career for Avery that saw him win over
4,000 races and $3.5 million in career earnings and establishing nine world
records before he retired back to his hometown in October 1972.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The culmination of his
career came on June 5, 1976 when he was the first member of the harness racing
fraternity inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame; the normal
five-year waiting period after retirement being waived for the much-respected
Avery.</div>

But that was just one
of many prestigious accolades that he received over 50-plus years in harness
racing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
In 1977, he was
inducted into the <a href="http://horseracinghalloffame.com/1977/01/04/earle-b-avery/" target="_blank">Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame</a> and later that same year he became the 25<sup>th</sup>
person to be elected to the <a href="http://www.harnessmuseum.com/hofelections.htm" target="_blank">Living Hall of Fame of the Trotters in Goshen</a>, New York.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

On August 26, 1995
Earle Avery became a member of the Woodstock Wall of Fame. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Earle Bradford Avery
was born on February 4, 1894 in the farming community of Knowlesville, NB,
which is located about 25 miles northeast of Woodstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Avery was the third oldest in a family of
seven children and he was exposed to horses early on as there were always a few
around the family farm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It was at the age of
five when his father took him to see his first horse race in the nearby
community of Bristol, where they raced for a short period of time at the turn
on the century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t long before
Avery was racing some of his father’s horses against some of their neighbor’s
horses on the community roads in big-wheeled sulkies and then in the winter time
on the frozen river.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
“When I was a young man
in New Brunswick in, we used to race on the ice in the Saint John River,” he
once said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’ve raced when the
temperature would drop as low as 40 degrees below zero.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the best fun you’ve ever seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We put caulks on the shoes of the horses and
the caulks would cut into the ice for the smoothest, most rhythmic ride of all…the
horses didn’t mind the cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither did
the drivers.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
By the end of the First
World War, Avery was living on the outskirts of Woodstock, near the Old Houlton
Road, maintaining a 600-acre potato farm in an area that is now partially
occupied by the Bull Road subdivision in Bedell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It was the beginning of an era when harness racing was
beginning to thrive, especially in Atlantic Canada, and a new racetrack had
opened at Island Park, located in the Saint John River between Grafton and
Woodstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Avery wanted to race at the new
facility so he went out and purchased his first horse, a nine-year-old trotter
by the name of Black Peter, for $250.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were scheduled to race on opening day of Island Park, August 19,
1919.</span></div>

expecting their first child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
25-year-old Avery drove Black Peter into Woodstock to get a doctor and brought
him back to the farm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a son,
Robert, was born, he drove Black Peter and the doctor back to town and then
went on to race at Island Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
all that, Black Peter still won three of five heats and for his efforts he won
a blanket and $160.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Avery went on to have an outstanding
career in the Maritimes and Maine over the next 30 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He established numerous tracks records
including one with Ray Henley (2:05) at Island Park in 1938, which stood for 28
years. </span></div>

Earle <span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Avery was
racing in the New York area in early-summer 1963 and</span> on June 11, in a
trial of the Commodore Pace at Roosevelt Raceway, Meadow Skipper defeated some
of the best three-year-olds racing at time in 2:01.3 for his fourth straight
win for trainer Delvin Miller.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Avery was there that
night and saw a horse with great potential so he reached out to Norman
Woolworth, expressing his deep interest. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The stories on the
conversation that took place between Avery and Woolworth about acquiring Meadow
Skipper have varied over the years but one thing was for certain; Avery had
never approached his owner about buying any horse before, especially a horse like
Meadow Skipper who would probably command a top price.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Woolworth had great faith and trust in
his trainer so he inquired about this horse that he knew little about but one
that he had such determined interest in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After all, Meadow Skipper had to be a special horse if Avery wanted
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He reached out to Grant and after a
day or two he agreed to sell him, but on the condition that Woolworth never
disclose the price; not even to Avery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Years later, after both Woolworth and
Avery had passed away, the Avery family confirmed that he never knew the true
price to acquire Meadow Skipper though it was thought to be around $100,000. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">The gentleman that he was, Woolworth
was true to his word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Meadow Skipper and
Earle Avery had an inauspicious beginning, finished fourth in their very first
start at Buffalo and he admitted to a taken-back Woolworth afterwards that he
wasn’t very impressed with his new charge.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

famous equipment change in history took place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Avery, wondering how he
could ever improve on a horse developed by the legendary Miller, decided to
train Meadow Skipper with leather hopples instead of the customary plastic
ones, figuring they might help him learn to leave quicker from the gate.</div>

“I was afraid to race
him with the leather,” Avery was quoted as saying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I had to make sure he was used to it before
I took the chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I trained with the
leather hopples but used plastic in the races.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He lost two races and then I felt he was ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So off he went with the leather and he never
was steadier or faster at the gate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was so confident that I spoke to my groom just before that big one (race) in
Lexington.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

“’If I can get this

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It wasn’t the first

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Sh Boom was a challenging
horse for Avery in that sometimes he didn’t want to do any work at all, whether
it was to jog or race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he was
hitched to a sulky he would stand still and wouldn’t move.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So Avery decided that he would hitch Sh Boom
beside a workhouse and have the pair of them pull a manure wagon around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
He resisted that too…at
first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The workhorse dragged Sh Boom
along and pretty soon the stubborn colt was willing to trot on his own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Avery had no further problem with him after
that and Sh Boom went on to earn over $111,000 and raced for many years.</div>

In what was becoming
known as more than a heated rivalry, Meadow Skipper and rival, Overtrick, had
taken turns winning the first two legs of harness racing’s Triple Crown over
each other in 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">

On September 13<sup>th</sup>,
Meadow Skipper won the $163,187 Cane Pace - which was the richest ever harness
race at the time – in 1:58.4h and the epic battle between them was described by
Dean Hoffman as “one of the most unforgettable races in Yonkers Raceway’s
history” with Meadow Skipper on the inside and Overtrick on the outside
battling over the final half-mile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Overtrick took a slight lead in the stretch only to see Meadow Skipper
fight back hard to win by a three-quarter length margin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was said that fans stood and applauded this
outstanding performance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Overtrick took both
heats of the Little Brown Jug on September 19<sup>th</sup> in 1:57.1h-1:57.3h
and the Meadow Skipper camp conceded after the race that Overtrick had been in
peak form and couldn’t be beat on that day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
With a six-week gap to
the $146,324 Messenger Stakes that would be taking place at Yonkers Raceway, the
two would meet up again on October 3<sup>rd</sup> at Lexington in a $8,200 tune
up for the final leg of harness racing’s Triple Crown. </div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Avery and Meadow
Skipper held off a ferocious challenge in the stretch by Overtrick to win in
1:55.1, a new world record for three-year-olds and an all-age record at The Red
Mile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also the second fastest mile

Meadow Skipper had assumed
the lead before the half-mile mark of :57.1 and, instead of slowing the pace
down to gain some measure of an advantage, a confident Earle Avery kept him
rolling through a torrid three-quarter mile marker of 1:26.1 before Overtrick
ranged up on the outside to challenge him for the stretch drive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
It was said that, with
a sixteenth of a mile to go, both horses were dead even but Meadow Skipper
would not relent and only a nose separated the two at the wire in the world
record mile.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Meadow Skipper had
fulfilled Avery’s prediction that he had made to his groom only a few weeks
earlier.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
In the final leg of the
Triple Crown on November 2<sup>nd</sup>, Overtrick ended up winning the
Messenger Stakes in 2:00.4h.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meadow
Skipper was second.</div>

Although Meadow Skipper
was the greatest horse Avery ever had he wasn’t necessarily his favorite, “Porterhouse
was the kindest,” he once said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He
couldn’t have been more perfect.”</div>

Those same words were
often used to describe the likeable Avery and he was recognized by the United
States Harness Writers Association in 1963 when they bestowed upon him the
inaugural “Clem McCarthy Good Guy Award.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The award is given “…to one deemed the one most cooperative with
newspapermen across the National and who by the force of his personality nearly
exemplifies the best characteristics of the late esteemed Clem McCarthy.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
The Town of Woodstock
declared December 28, 1963 “Earle Avery Day” and The Bugle published a special
edition of its newspaper to honor Woodstock’s most famous citizen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Among the many messages he received was a
congratulatory telegram from then New Brunswick Premier, Louis J. Robichaud.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
In 1970 Avery received
the Golden Service Award by fellow harness racing drivers - who affectionately
called him “Pops” - for meritorious service and dedication to harness racing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
He finally retired in October
1972, at the age of 78, but not before many of his friends and fellow drivers
and trainers paid tribute to him with an Earle Avery Night on September 26,
1972 at Yonkers Raceway in New York.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
was presented with the Grand Circuit Award of Merit Medal among other gifts and
awards for his long and satisfying career.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
At the time Avery
thought that the decision to retire was a bit too hasty on his part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“When I retired in ’72, I just said to
everybody that I was retiring this fall and the first thing I knew they were
giving a night for me,” he was quoted as saying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“If it hadn’t been for the party maybe I wouldn’t
have retired after all!</div>

horses than do anything.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
For all the rewards and
acknowledgements he received through the years, the one he coveted most was the
one that he didn’t live along enough to receive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
His election to the
Living Hall of Fame of the Trotters in Goshen, New York was announced on
November 6, 1977, only a few hours after he passed away at the age of 83.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
He never knew.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
He was posthumously
inducted on July 2, 1978 and a lifelike full-color statuette is on permanent
exhibition at the Hall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His sons
traveled to the ceremony and accepted the prestigious decoration on his behalf.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
Through a life that was
full of accomplishment and personal success, he was still regarded by most as a
gentleman who was proud of his Carleton County roots. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
To this day, Earle
Avery is still celebrated as one of Woodstock’s most accomplished citizens.</div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Both O’Brien and
Avery were born and raised in the Maritimes; introduced to horses at a young
age and, as teenagers, were already honing their driving expertise on the racetrack
against seasoned horsemen.</span>

skills in the Maritimes for a number of years, both O’Brien and Avery left home
to launch their careers in harness racing in the more lucrative American
states, though it should be noted that O’Brien made the move in 1935, at the
age of 18, while Avery waited until he was 54 years old, in 1948.</span>

themselves as accomplished horsemen and enjoyed much success with numerous
stake wins and world championship horses in their stables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>O’Brien became associated with the legendary
trotters Fresh Yankee and Armbro Flight, among many others, and Avery is best
known for campaigning Meadow Skipper, a world champion and, arguably, the
greatest pacing sire of all time.</span>

and Avery have won over 4,000 races though documentation for Avery is questioned
because the United States Trotting Association only began recording wins in
1939, twenty years after he began his driving career.</span>

This story on Malek Hanover winning the Walter Dale

<br />
<span class="abody">The third time was the charm for Bo Sowers on Canada Day.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">Yesterday at Fredericton Raceway the Fredericton native
realized a lifelong dream by having a horse win the 58th running of the Walter
Dale Memorial Invitational Pace.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">Earlier in the week, Sowers revealed that as a kid he said
he'd either drive a horse and win it, or train a horse and win it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With fellow Frederictonian Todd Trites in the
driver's seat, Malek Hanover - trained by Sowers - charged from the back of the
pack to beat Windemere Express by less than a tenth of a second to win the
premier race of the Fredericton Raceway season in 1:55.3.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">A near-speechless Sowers said it was a great feeling to
finally be in the victory circle at the prestigious race.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">“We fully accomplished what we wanted to accomplish,” said
Sowers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It means a lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It hasn't really sunk in yet, but it
will.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></i></div>
<div style="margin-top: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span class="abody"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Meanwhile for Trites this was his fifth time winning the Walter
Dale Invitational and said it was a much closer finish than he's ever had.</span></i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">“To me this is one of my bigger Walter Dales just because I
know how much it meant to Bo,” said Trites who also picked up his third win of
the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also scored with Miss Paula
D in 1:59.4 and Jags Rasin in 2:00.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">“I've always kind of done it for myself but today I really,
really, just wanted to do it for Bo,” Trites said. “He gave me a good horse and
I knew I had a good opportunity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm
just glad everything worked out. That horse deserved a (win).” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Malek Hanover got a bad post start in the
sixth position on the outside and he and Trites sat at the back until the back
stretch on the three-quarter mark before making his move on the outside.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="abody">Sowers and his horse, Grimsby, pushed the pace from the start
but started falling behind after the halfway mark of the race. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Windemere Express though, steered by Mark
Haig, led for the entire race, until the final stretch where Trites and Malek
Hanover made a desperate push on the outside to edge out Windemere Express.</span></span></i></div>

<span class="abody">“I knew my horse would be handicapped with his post position
and I would have to take a seat and hope a couple of guys get into a speed duel
in front of me, and that's kind of the way it worked out,” said Trites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I wanted to wait a little bit before I
moved, then I moved them three-deep on the backside but I was afraid they maybe
got too big a lead on me. I really didn't know if I had enough horse to chase
him down and catch him, but I kept working my horse hard and I was just able to
catch him at the wire.</span></span></i></div>

training a horse to win the Walter Dale is satisfying, considering how much
work is involved in training a racehorse. “Malek's not an easy horse to drive
and I opted to go with something a little more aggressive myself,” said Sowers,
noting he didn't know if Malek Hanover had the win or not. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He can get a little lazy and I told Todd
before that race that you gotta work him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>I wasn't quite sure until I pulled up on the
backstretch and Todd said, ‘Let somebody grab your horse and come down and get
your picture taken.’ Then I knew we had it. It was unreal.” </span></i></span>

Monday afternoon, Sowers will try again to win the oldest free-for-all race in
Canada, as the Fredericton Raceway hosts the 58th running of the Walter Dale
Memorial Invitational Pace. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 13-race
card kicks off at 1:00 pm; with gates opening at 12:30 pm. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Admission is free.<br />
<br />
Sowers was born and raised in Fredericton and has become one of the premier
harness racing drivers in Maine, earning nearly $1.3 million in winnings over
his career. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The purse for the Walter
Dale is $4,000, but Sowers said he's not here for the money.<br />
<br />
“Being from Fredericton and watching this race growing up, and as a kid saying,
'I'm either going to drive it and win it, or I'm going to have a horse in it
and win it,' just to win that race would mean a lot,” said Sowers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“A lot of people around Maine here asked, 'Why
are you even going; it's only $4,000?' It could go for nothing, it wouldn't
matter - just to win that race.”</i></div>

The favorite is Carnivore at 5-2 odds, trained by Earl Watts of Prince Edward

The $4,000 purse is a drop from last year's $6,000, and Horse Racing New Brunswick
Executive Director Jeff Malloy said it's been a battle to even run the race
since the provincial government withdrew its financial support. <br />
<br />
“Coming into July 1st, it's disappointing we don't have any Atlantic Sires
Stakes races,” said Malloy. “Traditionally (Canada Day) at the Fredericton
Raceway was the marquee event in the Maritimes, and we would have the Walter
Dale as the feature then have the top three-year-old pacers from all over
Atlantic Canada come. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But due to the
lack of funding we had to withdraw from that program. It's tough.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All Atlantic Sires
Stakes races were scrapped across the province because of a lack of funding
from Horse Racing New Brunswick, which is a result of the provincial government
pulling its funding for the sport. <br />
<br />
Malloy said last year, the government funded approximately $100,000 to Horse
Racing New Brunswick, but that's less than half of what the Prince Edward
Island and Nova Scotia governments contribute. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Atlantic Sires program has been running in
the province for the past 30 years. <br />
<br />
Last year's Walter Dale winner, McApulco, broke a 19-year track record in the
race, and Malek Hanover also beat the track record finishing in second place. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the first time Trites has steered the
two-time runner-up, but Trites has won the Walter Dale four times already. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Malloy said a new record could be set Monday. <br />
<br />
“The caliber of horses is getting better every year,” said Malloy. “If the
fractions and the speed is early then there's a really good chance the track record
could fall again.” </i></div>
