SCARBOROUGH ADDS SIMULCAST OUTLETS, PURSES UP!Simulcasting has opened doors that never

existed previously. Imagine watching a Scar­borough Downs simulcast on Monday after­noons at Rockingham, Foxboro, Hinsdale, Seabrook, Pocono Downs, Penn National, plus all the connected OTB's in and out of state, with the number growing. If you have a satellite dish, the world is your oyster. You can winter in Florida and watch your horse race in Maine and vice versa. It is enjoyable to watch Hank Fenno's handicapping show, but can't help but think of all the minutes between

ces that could be filled with harness racing ) )rmation, ie. horses purchased, horses

Aimed, speedy qualifiers etc. There are no

wasted minutes ever, on national TV.The Monday afternoon simulcasts from

Scarborough are picking up momentum on a weekly basis. As of April 3rd, their post time will change to 4:00 p.m. due to the opening of Foxboro Park.

For a quick recap, on March 20th there was $129,269. handled at Scarborough on a ten race card. Although the track was not 100%, Avon Lynette paced in 2:00.4 to win for Danny Cyr.This was followed by Scottish Stage pacing in 1:58.1 in the $3,500. Open for Bob Sumner, who proclaimed that he "wal­lowed in quicksand" the previous week when Don Richards' Postcard Jack was the winner.

On Saturday, March 25th, Joey Mosher scored in 2:00.1 wth Stonehollow E J . The purses can't compare to the Monday card, but the handle came close at $126,430.

Kim Ireland was on the scene on Sunday, March 26th, winning back to back with the trotter, Impeccable Hanover in 2:04.3 and the pacer, Idontwanttogrowup in 2:03.2. The handle at $113,895. reflected the lower purses.

On Monday, March 27th, purses averaged $ 1,600. for the afternoon program. There were four claiming races offered, lending to the versatility of the conditions. Leigh Fitch won three races, and Bobby Sumner scored in four, repeating in the $3,500. Open Feature Pace

with Scottish Stage in 1:58. There were also four races in 2:00 and a tick, indicating the improvement in track conditions and the quality of horses on the first day of the week. The handle, at $ 130,231, was the best to date.

The upcoming "Quarter To Three" Claim­ing Series begins on April 7th, with three $2,000. legs and a Final of $5,000.on April 28. Patrons welcomed the 7:30 p.m. post and the reopening of the clubhouse on March 31st This was followed by a 7:30 post on Saturday night, a 1:00 p.m. post on Sunday and the newly instituted 4:00 p.m. post on Monday.

Looks as if the season will be in full swing very soon at Scarborough Downs.

ObituariesPERL K. GERRY

Perl K. Gerry, 88, of South Street, Gorham, Me. died on December 5th at the Maine Medical Center after a long illness. He attended Waterboro schools and during World Warll he served with the Army Engineers in France receiving the Purple Heart. After the war he operated his own gas station in Biddeford, and later a small diner in Saco. He was best known for being a very astute trainer of harness race horses. This career dates back to 1927, nearly five decades in the business.He and his constant companion, wife, Marion celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year. This couple was held in high regard on the harness scene, as they raced the New England circuit. In the early '50’s nephew, Jovis Gerry, teamed up with them to do the driving. In 1961 when the claiming rule went into effect, Melody Square, the first to be claimed, went to Perl Gerry. In 1984 the Maine Harness Horsemen's Association named him as "Trainer Of The Year", a distinction well deserved. Long-time horsemen will remember some of his regulars, such as; Rob M., King Blackguard, Mungo Hanover, Dixie Kat, Minnie Sota, and his favorite Sandrift. However, his great joy in life was his family. He is survived by wife, Marion; daughter, Audrey; son-in-law, Dennis May; three grandchildren and a great grandchild. A private service was conducted.

CLYDE R. CRANEClyde R. Crane, 83, died unexpectedly on March 5th. He was bom in Whiting, Maine and

graduated from Bucksport Seminary. He worked in the lumbering business, and in 1947 pur­chased a general store, which he and wife, Rebecca operated for nearly thirty years.He served as town treasurer, tax collector and town moderater for many years. He was a trustee of Washington Academy and a director of Machias Savings Bank for three decades.He belonged to the Anah Temple Shrine and was a past-master of the Warren Lodge in East Machias. He owned and trained Standardbred horses for forty years, with the highpoint of his career the 1983 Maine Stakes Filly Champion, Jodi Overlook, whom he trained along the side of Route 1 in Whiting. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman, and knew every lake and stream in Washington County. He was greatly respected and admired by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Rebecca; his son, Peter; his grandson, John and his grandaughter, Julie. After a Masonic Memorial service, interment was in the Whiting village cemetery.

FRANCIS H. OSGOODFrancis H."Frank" Osgood, 70, of Rochester N.H. died March 17th at Frisbie Memorial

Hospital, after a long illness. He had retired in 1980 from Pease Air Force Base and had worked for many years as a structural superintendent. He was in the US Navy during World War II, serving in the Seabee's. He was a life member of American Legion Post #7, the Rochester Lodge of Elks and the United States Trotting Association. He was State Steward for the New Hampshire Racing Commission at Hinsdale Raceway for several years and also served as starter at Rockingham Park and the country fairs. He served for more than forty years as the Director of Racing at the Rochester Fair and was an inovator of many promotional races among them, world-record odd distance races, world-record high wheel races, N.H. Sweep- stakes for claimers, competitive races for lady drivers, father & son races and many others. He also constructed a "Hall Of Fame" second only to Goshen, N.Y. More recently he did volunteer work at the Frisbie Memorial Hospital.He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Dorothy; a sister, Elizabeth; uncle and aunt, Laurence and Elizabeth; plus numerous nieces

MY MILL FOEWOOID)" Maine's Gold Standard Stallionn

To: Those Breeders Interested In The MAINE SIRE STAKESStanley Dancer once told me that, "great stallions have to be consistent, durable, hard-hitting racehorses themselves. "After being in the harness racing industry fo r twenty five years, I fin d that statement to be very accurate, with very few exceptions. M Y BILL FORWOOD raced until he was eight years old and won over $800,000. beating the best horses in the country, with no big stakes included except the Levy Final o f $156,000. He has been the best stallion standing in Maine since he arrived at the breeding shed ten years ago. He leads in every conceivable statistic...

• Fastest - Webster's Pride p. 1:53.3• Highest earnings o f offspring Over $1,000,000. in Maine• Highest percentage o f Stakes winners etc.

Like the Sire...his offspring excel on the half mile track. Do you know o f any other size track in Maine? Aren't you breeding fo r the Maine Stakes? Many stallions have come and gone in Maine, but M Y BILL FORWOOD continues to dominate. Can you really afford to gamble on a second-rate stallion or an unproven stallion?M Y BILL FORWOOD is an outcross sire. I f you have a well-bred mare send her to this prepotent stallion and you can expect excitement in the Maine Sire Stakes. M Y BILL FORWOOD appears to be improving with age...he had five o f the eight Filly Finalists in last year’s Stakes!

The Las Vegas Inagural Harness Racing CongressIn a spirit of cooperation, unprecedented in

the Standardbred sport, the first Harness Racing Congress was conducted at The Mi­rage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 15-19. The result...a resounding success!

Racing has traditionally been a fragmented, divided society, with each faction guarding its own boundaries and staying within its own narrow confines. For the first time all seg­ments of North American harness racing, over 500 strong, were represented at this Congress. Organizations included; The Hambletonian Society & Breeders Crown, Harness Horse­men International, Harness Horse Youth Foun­dation, Harness Tracks of America, the Har­ness Publicists Association and the United States Trotting Association. Also attending were the Canadian Trotting Association, the Canadian Standardbred Horse Society and the World Harness Owners Association.

BY JEANThe theme,"Crossroads Of The ’90's" was

an attempt by the various organizations to combine their talents in an effort to further the cause of all factions of the racing industry.

Wednesday, the first day, was devoted to various organizational board meetings, with a Welcoming Reception hosted by HTA, HHI, and USTA, for all attendees that evening.

Thursday, at 8:00 a.m.in a joint session for all attendees, Dominic Frinzi of HHI, Corwin Nixon of USTA and John Swiatek of HTA, led the discussion in, "Where We Are...And Where We're Going."

A panel followed, addressing the topic,"The Road To The Future, Can Racing and Gaming Co-Exist?" The morning session continued on with leaders of the industry digging into, "The Information High way...Computers and Interactive TV." A continuation of meetings, plus lunch followed, with the afternoon ses-

EMERSONsion devoted to the various group committee meetings, with a free evening to follow.

Friday, the next day, saw general meetings in the a.m. with the Harness Publicists pre­senting the Annual Allen J. Finkelson "Golden Pen" Award to Gordon Waterstone of Hazel Park at a noon luncheon. General meetings followed once again, until the evening when interested members had the opportunity to view the world-famous, Seigfried & Roy Magic Show at The Mirage.

Saturday was very busy from beginning to end. Starting at 8:00 a.m. with a joint session for all attendees, topics included,"The Legis­lative Highway...Getting There From Here,"- "Views From People Thinking About The Problems" and "Views From People Living The Problems."

Previous to the Saturday luncheon for all attendees, Governor Jim Edgar of Illinois

offered some thought-provoking suggestions with his,"View From The Top!" This was followed by Dr. Phil Jursek, USTA Director of Marketing addressing,"Developing New Owners." This led to the luncheon speaker, Tom Meeker, Chairman, Hoosier Park and Presidentof Churchill Downs who entertainer’ with, "The Road From Here To 2000."

The HTA Awards Dinner-Dance was held Saturday evening, honoring champion har­ness horses of '94 and recognizing major accomplishments in the sport

From topics concerning home betting, to consideration of a season-long national TV presentation, to the possibility of a national- Championship Racing Series and the novel racing of trotters under saddle...this Racing Congress covered it alL.let’s hope for more meetings as enlightening as this early Spring get-to-gether in Las Vegas.

FINDLAY HANCDVEEp.l:58.1 $140,401

Findlay Hanover raced from 1984 to 1992,winning 41 races and over $140,000. He was a tough horse who earned his money and mark, 1:58.1, the hard way.... as a raceway contender. He was second 35 times and third 37 times, making a total 113 in the money starts.

There are many opinions, but one of importance is the mare and the maternal line. Findlay has two crosses

to the "foundation” mare Romola, as both his sire and dam trace back to this prepotent family line.

Sire: KAWATHA SKIPPER p. 3,TTl:55.t (Meadow Skipper - Roniaine Hanover)

Dam: FARM CINDY p,3,TT2:01.1 (Race Time - Miss Norette)

The Romola family has been a mainstay in the brood­mare band at Hanover Shoe Farm. One need only to check the Hanover Standardbred Sale "Black Book” to realize the influence of this family of mares on the

Standardbred Race Horse. From this foundation mare Romola, comes the following outstanding performers:

• Keystone Raider p.l:51.4 $946,914.• Three Diamonds p.l:53.1 $735,759.• Rumpus Hanover p.l:53.1 $721,993.• Threefold p.1:51.1 $634,004.• Arrive At Five p.1:50.1 $628,517.

...and also Roxette Hanover 1:53.1, Romeo Hanover, Naughty But Nice, Dexter Hanover, to name a few!

Walnut Hill Farm believes that, with the bloodlines Findlay Hanover is an excellent choice for your mare.

Colts school behind the gate at Roosevelt Raceway in the early '50's. This famous grandstand will soon be demolished to make way for a new shopping structure.

BY BOB LOWELLRoosevelt Raceway, which opened Sep­

tember 1940, is being razed to make way for a major development on the 172 acre site.

Hall Of Famer, Jimmy Cruise, tells the Northeast Harness News,"It's all flattened out, except for the grandstand." Cruise, who lives in Old Westbury, continues,"But that will be going down soon."

Founded by George Morton Levy who died in 1977, Roosevelt ushered in the mobile starting gate and the great era of nightime har­ness racing...but lost the race against time and change.

Gene Pownall, a Florida "Hall Of Famer" was a member of the very first drivers'colony at the Long Island oval. Gene, brother of Harry Pownall, tells us, "I'm the last of the pioneers." A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., he adds, "Some of the other original drivers in­cluded Leon Toole, Jim Burlingame and Red Hannafin." That trio was well known in the Northeast and had raced on the Maine circuit.

In those early days there was quite a horse shortage and Pownall interjects,"We were racing for $210. per dash, and there was only 64 head to pick from. They had Five races per card with five-horse fields and the dashes were 9/16 and 3/4 miles. With the horses rac­ing twice a week," he adds,"if they had mile distances the horses would have blown up. The horsemen were racing whatever they could get their hands on."

Glenn Gibbons, now of Saco, Maine, went to Roosevelt after World War II and worked as paddock judge and assistant to starter, Steve Philips, who developed the mobile gate. In 1950, Gibbons was assistant race secretary and in the mid-'50's race secretary. A subse­quent race secretary was John Cashman, and the final secretary at Roosevelt was Larry Mallar, who Gibbons remembers was previ­ously an accountant in Portland, Maine.

Commenting on the horse shortage, Gib­bons recalls,"They called on my father, Wal­

the poles back. Because of the black-out dur­ing the war, Pownall states,"They had twilight racing which ended at 7:00 p.m."

G ibbons points out,"Those were great days and Levy was a great man, we all admired him." J.Alfred Valentine was the General Manager, and Gibbons remembers that he was the "idea man".

Over the years the big New York stars thai came to Roosevelt included; Ed Sullivan, Steve Allen and Jackie Gleason. Gibbons remembers them all.

The year 1949 marked the arrival of Stanley Dancer at Roosevelt with a trotter named Candor. Dancer and Haughton revolutionized racing with their driving tactics.

In 1959, Roosevelt invited the world's best trotters for the International. The inaugural was captured by Jamin, the artichoke-eating horse from France. Dancer won in 1961 and 1963 with Su Mac Lad, and Keith Waples was the victor for Canada in 1962 with the legen­dary Tie Silk. Some other great trotters who won this classic included; Speedy Crown, Delmonica Hanover, Savoir, Cold Comfort, Doublemint and Classical Way.

Early on, Clint Hodgkins handled Proxim­ity and Harry Whitney trained Chris Spencer. Gibbons recalls a night that Hodgkins was driving a pacer that "stuck his toes in" and Clint was catapulted out of the bike, went right over the horse and landed on his feet. Gibbons laughs,"He just kept on walking, went into the paddock and never looked back."

Later in the '50's, Charlie Fitzpatrick of Massachusetts migrated to Roosevelt with his great Tree For AH' pacer, Speedy Pick. He remembers competing against Belle Acton, Del Miller's Dottie's Pick, Joe O'Briens Dia­mond Hal and Hodgkins Bye Bye Byrd.

Fitzpatrick recalls Gold Worthy, who was driven by Jimmy Cruise, and Widower Creed handled by Howard Beissinger. Fitzpatrick first drove at Roosevelt in 1941, up behind

ter. He had raced throughout New England as a trainer/driver,and was an early ofFicial at Roosevelt. He Finally influenced Frank Saf- ford, Henry Clukey and Jimmy Jordan to come to Roosevelt, but they all thought it was crazy to race at night."

Pownall remembers,"Franklin shipped in with a stable owned by Sullivan and Mawhin- ney of Machias, Maine." Safford, a native of Keene, N.H. captured early driving titles and the two Mainers, Jordan and Clukey made headlines, too. Clukey stunned the harness world winning with Hi Lo's Forbes in 1:58 in the early '50's and Jordan, who drove many of Delvin Miller's horses, won the Messenger with O'Brien Hanover in 1958.

Gibbons states, "I wrote the Messenger and Billy Haughton won the First one in 1956 with Belle Acton. That mare was owned by George Landers of Kittery, Maine, who was so happy to win that he gave his Cadillac to the groom."

Looking further back, Gibbons reflects, "During the war, the fans went by train to Mitchell Field and were hauled by draft horses and wagons to the track."

Pownall recalls that the light poles were right along the "sulky rail" and that a horse Lewis Floyd was driving went over the fence, hit a pole and broke its neck. ..then they moved

Wings. He was only 15, but remembers, "I told them I was 18."

In the beginning years, some of the other noteable drivers werePierceChappell of Maine Hugh BeU, Joe Hylan and Paul Vineyard. Then there was Earl Avery, a native of the Maritimes, who handled the great horses for the Clearview Stable. George Phalen, from Newmarket, N.H. drove several world cham­pions and John Simpson, who later headed up Hanover Shoe Farm, also was on the scene. As time marched on, the great reinsmen at Roosev­elt reads like a Who's Who of harness racing; Carmine Abbatiello, John Chapman, Herve Filion, Buddy Gilmour, Del Insko and Ted Wing,who remembers Roosevelt as,"A gre place...a country club!" One of the top horses Wing catch-drove at Roosevelt was Skip By Night, who is now standing at stud in Maine.

The procession of drivers who left Maine for the bright lights includes Gary Mosher and Walter Case Jr. who both made their presence felt at Roosevelt Several years ago, Case drove the Maine-owned Trusty Blaze to vic­tory in the $100,000. Sagamore Final.

Over the years, horse people from the Northeast made great contributions to the racing at Roosevelt. The passing of this great track marks the end of an era, but the bulldoz­ers can't plow away the memories.
