22 - The Caain Chaon , Tuoady. Oclobr 26. 1909 --,Blissfull Hall the favourte for Breeders Crown Mobawk Raceway will boat tbe $5.3 million Breeders Crown championships for two and tbree-year-olda this Friday. And Milton-trained Blisfuli Hall is poised to add another piece of bardware to bis bulging toepy case. Ini case there was a skeptic out there among the crowd Saturday evening, the brilliant pacer proved again in bis elimination that it will take a Herculea effort fromn another horse to deny the new Pacing Triple Crown champion another major victory in the $588,000 Three-Year-Old Colt Pace. Blissfull Hall, wbo bas emerged as a serious contender for Horse of the Year bonours, coast- ed home in bis elimination in 1:51.2 - equaling bis own Mohawk mark set in September's Simcoe Stakes. Driven by Ron Pierce, Blissfull Hall - the prohibitive 1-9 choice - waa a contented fourth for most of the mile as Full Scholarship cut out wicked fractions of :27.4, :55.4 and 1:23. Turning for borne, Pierce, unleasbed the son of Camnbest and he sailed on by the leaders to win by a comfortable two lengtbs over Arts Conquest, witb CPW a distant third. It was Blisafuil Hall's 131h win in 18 starts this year for owner Daniel Plouffe of Bedford, Quebec and tramner Ben Wallace of Milton, as the bay colt bas now earned over $1.14 million in a spaulcling sophomore campaign. Along the way, bie became only the ninth horse to win Pacing's Triple Cmown. "I knew they were marcbing pretty good up front," said Wallace. "It was a gond trip for us going into next wcek's ($588,000) final. When you flrst put tie hamess on a borse, tbe last tbing rnow gy miWn. ounn Mlton traîner Bon Wallae hes Biblstl Hall pulmed and raady for Frilay. you'd think about was a Triple Crown." Added Pierce, "There was no question hoe was the heat tonight. I was neyer concerned any- where in the mile." Blissfull Hall will no doubt be favoured Friday. But it won't be a cakewalk. [lis chief rival will likely be Grinfromeartoear, wbo won bis elimination courageously, in U 52, banging on for a bead win over Sign of Succes after setting aIl the fractions under driver Chuis Cbristoforou. Tne millionaioe son of Axtsplace wili look for revenge against Blissfull Hall aller finishing second to hlm in last week's Messenger Stakes. There wiIl be eigbt Breeders Crown races Fniday nigbt in'the ricbest hamess racing event of the year in Canada. Besides drivlng Grinfromeartoea, Choistoforqu wilI also pilot Astreos, one of the favourites in the richeat event, the $823,347 Two-Year-Old Colt Pace - wbich also includes Milton's Steve Condren aboani highly oegarded Intrepid Seelster.
