Doug 11 Id rout Preienling award la Cornwall MIT John Diamond III has earned In purse money in Local filly scores big in Ontario pacing circuit When it comes to sense Terra Cotta native William Hunter is proving he has plenty Hunter who spent years In local municipal politics has been ding a lot of time In Ihe winner at harness racing events around Ontario this summer and a two- yearold illy Is responsible The twoyearold pacer Albens Diamond Li I has been a top horse on the pro vincial harness racing scene during the past Tew weeks and a recent win in Ottawa presented her owner with his greatest source of com pride The filly topped the field at the Rldeau Carlcton Raceway on July not only winning an important stake in the ongoing Trillium Cup compel tion but also posting the fastest time of the season with a 1 mile The time stands as a new season record for twoyearold pacing fillies over a fiveeights mile track In Canada The victory also meant Diamond has collected over in prize money so far in According to Hunter who says he has been involved with the owning and raising of horses his entire life much of Diamond Lil sue cess is due to the handling of old trainerdriver Doug Hideout Hunter said Hideout is a relative neophyte on the harness but he has proved marc than capable of competing at the lop level In Ontirlo paring only and he s been doing very well said Hunter who decld to give the young rider a chance at handling Diamond rather than go wilh a experienced veteran Everybody deserves a chance explained Hunter of his obviously successful choice The big win at Carlet on was not without lis tension and in fine horse- racing fashion Albens Diamond gave the croud not to mention her some exciting moments by taking the victory in the stretch for a half length triumph A special presentation by Com wall John Geary almost made Hunter and his entourage late for a flight out of Ottawa but the happy owner admitted it was worth the unit Hunter will be la king his filly to several more races throughout the province as the Trillium Cup com petition continues Included among scheduled stops is Downs in Dundas and the Dresden Raceway Hunter and are hoping that a few more trips to the winner circle will also be included in Diamond s future GIFL leaders More input on Youth Soccer Georgetown soccer club president has berated me for not paying enough attention to
