Oucilette big winner in eliminations Milton driver Luc Oudileste swept the trot divisions while thc track record was put in jeopardy later in the evening as the trday nigliti at Woodbiiie during the Canadian Breeders Championship elimi- nations. He got Uic hall roîliog with Trophy Hall in the opening $24,165 dlasa, tuming in a 1:55.4 mile while racing as an 18-I long- shot. Ifhallscould talk and Actoo's Trevor Ritchie tlnished second and Incredible Isin and Phil Hudon took third. After Ieaving hard, Trophy Hall reclaimsed the Iead from Uic Uree hole once the quarter mile time tlashed at :28. 1. Clearing to Uic front before Uie 57-second midway mark, the daughter of Angus Hall and Trophy Bats passed Uic third station at 1:26.1land delivered a :29.3 final fraction for her malden breaker. Owned by Burlington's WDM Stables and trained by Don LeBlanc, Trophy Hall now has a 1-1-1 record in six starts this year after finishing off Uic board in both of her starta last tesson. jWiUi a strong second-quarter rush troin the five hole, Blits and Oucîlette grabbed Uic lead and darted away in the lane, stop- ping the dlock in the second showdown with a mark-lowing 1:56.2 mile. lcy Pleasure and fellow Miltonian Mike Saftic were second, while Sno Doubt About It - in rein to Randy Waples - fended off even-money Zorgwijk Emani for third. Jobstown, New Jersey's Joie De Vie Farrut owns Bliss, a Meadowlands invader Who oow has a teasonal record: of 2-0-2 froin seven starts. The Angus HalI-Evita P miss is tralned by Paul Buer. "The first one (Trophy Hall> 1 had neyer sat behind, but Uhit one (Bliss) 1 believe 1 B8eat sat behind last year," said Ouellette, after sweepmng the early Daily Double wager. "Both of them are just perfect filles. You can move themn whenever you want to. They stay on their feet and they have got some go. "To tell you the truth, when the wmngs opened 1 couldn't keep up, su we (he and Bliss) had to race froin behind. It shaped Up inl our favour." When the pacing tillies hit the track for the first of their eliminations, Invitro and a catch-driving Rick Zeron turned some heads, as they tumed in a 1:51 mile - which was just two-fifths of a second shy of the track record establishcd last summer by Buming Point. ln the second frame - after sinting a gapped fourth- Zeron and the Camluck- Keystonc Trinidad miss made a charge Io the front and engagcd Lucys Fame and Phi] Hudon, who had sliccd the early :26.3 and :55 fractions. Battling hcad-to-head pasî the 1:22.4 threc-quarter mark, Lucys Fame hit the wall and Invitro drew off to almost a tote board lengsh lead before capturing the $29.792 tèontest. -I didn't think she was coming out of the hole that fast," Zeron said of his mount, who took a full second off of her lifetime mark. '1 juat slipped over and spoke to her and she went right up to Phil. 1 just hung there for a ltuile bit until thc head of the Jr. Sox's prosperous mun continues with big victory By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Things are starting to come up rosey for Uic Junior Red Sox. Distancing Uemselves froin a rather dis- mal firtt half of Uie season, Milton has won five of its last seven gaines - including Monday's 9-4 decision over t rampton. An impressive fielding Ldampalgn coin- plemented Keith Duster' six-and-two- thirds inning effort. That plus balanced hit- ting proved to be too mti. h for Uic host Braves. Evan Jeans and Liain ennant - who closed Uings out on the mound - scored two mons each, while Conan O'Brien alto stood out with a pair of RBI. Monday's victory followed a highly- credible toumnament showing in Wallaccburg, where Uic Red Sox engi- necred two wins before being edged 3-1 by Essex in Uic gold medal semnifinals Sunday mornsng.

"He threw ail kinds of breaking and off- speed stuff," explained manager Glenn Tumer. "We havcn't seen anything like this in our league this year." Neither tearn did much damage at the plate - managing just four bits apiece - although the Red Sox lcft half-a-dozen mun- ocrs in scoring position, which proved to bc the difference. Stranding the bases loaded in Ueir last at-bat put a particularly painful exclamation mark on the semifi- naIs. and spoiled a big outing by Pete Nicolaichuk. Rob Bennett scored Uic lone Milton mun in the fifth, on a well-cxecuted squeeze play by Jeans. The Red Sox reached Uic semnifinals by doubling up Stoney Creck 8-4 and Uien outdueling South West London 8-5 - îhanks to complete-game efforts by Tennant and O'Brien respectively. Milton exploded for seven ruot in the first inning to sink Stoney Creek and staked itself to an early lead against South West London as wel. Tennant, Kevin Cooper and Nick Mazzorato swung heavy bats through Uic qualifying campalgn. Now 6-12-I in COBA competition and looking to go to Uie Ontario 'C' champi- onships for a second stralght ycar next month - which requires thern to play two more gamnes for 85 per cent completion of league play - Uic Red Sox arc hoping to get in at lcast one make-up gamne Uit weekend before closing out Uic regular sca- son in BurlingtonMTursday. lane.

Sitting fourth as the firtt fr-action was passed in 27 seconds flat, Macdonald sent Uic Carl Jamieton pupil to Uic front after Pauls Peanut and Doug Brown had cleared froru the three hole.
