Raceway gates are seldom open when the frosts not in the ground Presently only two meets one beginning in April and the other in late October are held there Preference on racing dates goes to the

the Jockey Club increased revenue would be passed along to them in the form of further betting privileges Mr Moooey however has announced the present system is not likely to change Some harness tracks Windsor Raceway notably have increased their popularity by establishing bonus wagers like on certain races Keep those chins up Sabre fans It may be small consolation after the club has gained only three points in six starts but five of the six games have been against the three clubs tied for the league lead Fergus Bradford and Sabres could still logically be called favorites to tame Schomberg
