Campbellvilfle' breeder had good feeling By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Iris Bristow may own the minority share of Archers Bay but her role in the thoroughbred's recent Queen's Plate triumph was far from insignificant. After breeding and raising horses for nearly a decade on her faim mi Campbellville, the onetime west coast business woman knows what it takes to develop a champion. And therefore, she bas "equal say" with majority owner Eugene Melnyk and tramner Todd Pletcher as to decisions sur- rounding Canadian horse-racing'slatest success story. In fact it was Bristow who was first drawn to Archers Bay two years ago when as a yearling he was being unloaded with most of his stablemates from Oshawa's Windfield Parms. "Eugene (Melnyk) andl1 had owned variosis horses before and when Archers Bay became available at a dispersai sale in Kentucky we put hlm aw the top of our list," she recalled. "He's the great-great-grandson of Northeru Dancer, perhaps the most successful horse in the spot's history, and lias six gen- erations of pure, unïnterrupted parentage on boili bis father and mother's side. "Tbhey did a great job breeding hlm." e-e BRISTOW on page 22 -NBUE~ C CLOUIS VILLE To m Csome To toeo o h hahdteopportu* i tyo f oming to Kuke Ioth pes eaýsdtaRo Phi l ologr a nyafiitin*thtisbsies 1 lok Io ar o se ingalo ycsomes is okysaonan a lsolo Bowr to se ingsm fyo ae' Be nawh Ba el smn e fae. hn ou rmalo f saB K uklsS ortsop 18 TlHOMPSON ROAD UNIT #6 MILTON 3zm9O5S!7 742à M* Gallinger leads rally f or Mavs Just caîl him the special tcams saviour. Tuming thc tables at crunch timc, Rick Gallinger shone during both powcrplay and shorthanded stints to give the bantam Mavericks a 4-3 comeback over Owen Sound Monday at John Toncîli Sports Centre. RaIly time began late in the second when he fired back-to-back powcrplay goals five minutes apart to, even the count. The visiting North Stars would go ahead once more just moments into the final frame but this only afforded Gallinger another opportunity for glory. Two men short With Milton two men short he dodged a pair of defenders and planted the equalizer down Iow midway through the third. From there - with the hometown crew once more at a five-on-three disadvantage- he set up Jonathan Ram for the game winner with just two minutes remaining. It came on a two-on-one break, again with a bot- tom-shelf blast doing the trick. Sharing third-period heroics was goalie Jordan Lumb, who came up with two kcy shoulder block saves and stoned one of Owen Sound's top gunners on a pic- turesque backhand. The Mavs' tender tumned aside 15 of 18 shots on the night. Corbin assisted Kevin Corbin drew assists on goals one and three while Kyle Goertz picked up a helper and was an effective penalty killer in the second. Milton's comeback came during a heat- ed battle with plenty of stick work and general roughhousing. Countiess trips to the sin bin for both sides ate up nearly one quarter of the running time game. The Mavericks, who now sport an 8-2-I record in Zone 8 league play, travel to Arthur Monday before welcoming Owen Sound back to Tonelli arena Wednesday at 8 p.m.
