PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 31, 1974 -- 19 Lady trainer, driver enjoys the thrill of racing by Ashok Chandwani Hidden away in tree-lined lanes miles from the high- way on Scugog Island is a farm called Chrivan where Ivan and Chris Haugen breed and train horses for standard bred racing. And guess who sits on the driver's seat on the sulky both while training and in races in Peterborough and Greenwood? Mrs. Chris course. She's been doing it for a year. "I like the compe- tion," she says, "and the speed in standard bred racing." On a cloudy day last week Mrs. Haugen was out on her regulation length track giving Harlo Puckey, winner of several races, some exercise. t Harlo Puckey has already won over $8,000 for his owners and he's just beginn- ing to shine. "Last year," says Ivan Haugen of Haugen 'he made only $800. "» He has been clocked at 2.02 minutes and 3-5th of a second on a mile, which jnakes his speed over 30 miles an hour. '"He's a pacer" explained Mrs. Haugen later 'which means he moves his front and hind legs forward at the same time." The Haugens have 12 horses at Chrivan farms. Chrivan incidentally is a word coined from Chris and Ivan. The first three letters of Chris put in front of Ivan form Chrivan. Chris Haugen is one of very few female riders in SE RACING Port Perry Fair Grounds PARI-MUTUAL WAGERING Sun., Aug. 11th POST TIME 2:00 P.M.

INTERMEDIATE "C" SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT - 7 GAMES - FIRST GAME STARTING AT 10:00 a.m. SATURDAY, AUGUST 3rd - - ad standard bred racing in this region. It is essentially a male-dominated sport but of late, according to Mrs. Haugen, more women are being licenced. Like many other things, you need a licence to race. "The judges test you on your knowledge of shoeing, harnessing and racing regu- lations; they also test your eyesight, hearing and gene- ral health before they give you a licence" says Mrs. Haugen. During the one year she has been racing, Chris Hau- gen has had 3 wins, 3 seconds and 2 thirds - an impressive record for someone who's been racing only a year. She has entered about 16 races. The Haugens bought the farm several years ago and originally had hired trainers to train their horses. Now Mrs. Haugen does the training and for the past year, the racing too.

July 27, Port Perry's Lions Club Bantams travelled to Belleville, and after a narrow 10-9 loss to Kingston, recovered to re- cord 3 straight wins to capture the consolation championship. The day started poorly as the boys had the jitters and committed 7 errors. Kevin Walker pitched the 1st game, but received poor fielding support, which allowed King- «ston to edge them 10-9. Kenny Bryant, Charlie Dur- ward and Jay Williams were the hitting stars. In game 2, the boys played one of their best games of the year as they shaded Belle- ville 5-2. Kenny Bryant with 2out and 2 on, hit a home run to carry the team to victory. Kenny and Jay Williams again led the team in hitting. Mike McQuade made some great fielding plays to keep the team in the game until the home run. Larry Elson picked up the win on a solid performance. After playing such a thrill- TEAMS COMPETING BALLARD LUMBER CANADIAN TIRE VAN CAMP'S UTICA AUTO BODY SCUGOG ISLAND _ NESTLETON vy ST.

Phil Cochrane allowed only 3 hits to pick up the victory. Everybody in the game hit good as they picked up 15 hits and allowed only 1 error. After waiting 3 hours for the rain to stop, the boys played a 5 inning final and beat Lindsay 5-1. This was particularly satisfying, as Port had lost to Lindsay earlier in the season, after 2 scoreless innings, Port Perry scored 2 runs in the < 3rd and 3 in the 5th to win going away. Again the hit- ting was spread out amongst everyone, which gave it a true team victory. The boys played errorless ball and pitcher Larry Elson chucked one of his best games of the year in the 5 innings. He allowed 2 hits and struck out 12. Port Perry also captured the most valuable player award, which was won by our Ist baseman, Jay (continued on page 20) FS PERNT 5 AT Ad 1 BE Rs ---, oT "
