The first game starts at 6:45 each night 1 5 over a track listed as fast. The mile race developed into a two-horse affair from the three-quarter pole on as Muddy George held on ten- aciously to a neck lead all through theahome lane. It appeared as if Rob Ron Ritzar, owned by Dr. Steve Egans Rob Ron Acres Ltd. of Brooklin, Ont., was going to pass Muddy George, but as they matched stride for stride, Muddy George managed to hold on to his narrow edge right to the wire. Grosvenor Globe, a 19-1 outsider, owned byu Yes Cloutier of Ville de Quebec, Que. came on to grab the show award, although he didn't tibreaten the top two. Muddy George was installed as a 4-1 third choice in the wagering and repaid his backers with an across-the- board payoff of $1010, $330 and $2.70 for bis eightih triumph 'in 17 attempts this season. Waples (Ron) who drove J R Skipper to his win in the same race last year in the track record time ot 2:00 1-5, was pleased at the result. "He's a nice horse", Ron said of Muddy George, in the paddock after the race. 'Ile responded really weli tonight whennI asked himto, but I honestly didn't think he could l>eat some of these horses, especially Rob Roni Ritizar. But if was a nice race to win and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised." Muddy George was first out, of the gate from the No. 4 position, followed by Piper Wall, Springfield on the out- side, Ron Ron Ritzar, Armbro Nadir and Grosvenor Globe. 9-- Just before the quarter, Ron Ron Ritzar wentafter the leader as did Armbro Nadir, but just after reaching the quarter in 30 seconds flat, Rob Ron Ritzar went to the front, with, MuddyGeorge second and Armbro Nadir, third on the outside. Armbro Nadir, winner of the $150,000 Prix d' Ete at Blue Bonnets last year in 1:56 1-5, finaily got up to take over justi before the half, reached in one minute flat. Then Muddy George moved out at the paddock turn, was parked to the three-quarter p oie and then forged to the front as Armbro Nadir stàrted to shorten stride and fall back The field got to the three- quarter pole in 1:30 4-5. Then Rob Ron Ritzar launched his bid. He quickly overtook Muddy George and the two raced as a team from the seven-eighths pole to the wire, with Muddy George gaining the verdict. The race xvas a financial as well as an artistic esuccess. A total of $271,111 was wagered by the large crowd and itwas the highest handle by some $30,000 ever recorded here. Nelson White, who trains and drives Armbro Nadir, wasn't too optimistic about the horses chances before the race. rWhen he was last shoed, White said, "he had too much cut away from his hooves. Tha's why he raced SO poorly in his last start at Blue Bonnets when he finished fourth. I think hes somewhat better tonight, but he won't be at bis best." Before Armbro Nadir's last shoeing session, he had won at, the Montreal track in 1:59 4-5. The win was worth $7,500 to Lawrence Hooey of Orono, Ont.., owner of Muddy George and it increased the gelding's earnings for the year to $63040. Last year he banked $50,685. In a trackside ceremony in which Muddy George, Ron Waples-and owner Hooey took part. the winning combination was presented with a tropby by D. G. MeDougall, presi dent of Labatt's Breweries of Canada, and Walter Hollowell, the London and district sales manager, who was intrumen- tai imninaugurating the race. There were a few other note worthy items on the program. Derbys Gent, a three-year old gelding by Derby Time out of Claybrook Carol, extended his lifetime unheaten streak to seven when he won the seventh race in a sparkling 2:02. The well-conformed pacer, owned by James and William Cadman of Parkhill, led from start to finish with trainer Norm Campbell on the bike. Derbys Gent flashed out of the gatie went to the front in a few strides- and was never in danger, pulling away to win by more than four lengths over Miss Belle Bars. The $3,000 Invitation Pace went to Hurricane Shadow, owned by Jack Kopas of Ilderton and reined by Ken McElroy. Hurricane Shadow came on strongly in the stretch to overtake leading Stoney Creek Kid and passed him in the last strides. Edgewood Sharon was tb ird. Hurricane Shadow paid $1180 after a 2:03 3-5 mile.
