The harness horses made for the first turn of the Truro, N. S. track, their drivers fighting for positions of advantage. Cries of "Come on, Johnny", heard on every side, encouraged the master Maritime reinsman, Johnny Conroy, up behind the hometown favorite, Captain Mac, owned by Colley McKenzie. Suddenly there was a short, sharp collision, and the sulky seat behind the veteran pacer was empty. The driverless horse took off in pursuit of the field, tucked himself in position along the rail, made a determined determined bid in the stretch and won the race. He returned, all alone, to the winner's circle to take his bow. He was set back, of course, because without a driver he could not be credited with the win. The harness fans were delighted by his solo performance performance , and gave him a standing ovation, while Conroy was subjected to some good-natured kidding on the lack of need for his expert services. During the next few days Johnny and Colley put their 'lieads together, and imagine 'the surprise in the grandstand grandstand on the next race day when Captain Mac appeared, harnessed and ready, with a teddy bear wearing racing silks holding down the sulky seat!

S. track. The record books will not show a track record for Captain Mac and his teddy bear driver. The record is written in the hearts of harness horse lovers who remember that day in the Nova Scotia sunshine, over 40 years ago.
