Montreal is the centre of October and promoters hope wagering will rise to $750,000 from $200,000 last year. "Tf things are looking good we may go until about the middle of November," says track sec- retary Ingham Palmer, NEW RATING SYSTEM. As in other parts of the coun- of harness racing in the coun- try, bettors at the city's two tracks accounting for more than half the $133,000,000 wagered on standardbreds in 1962.

PLAN FOR 1967 Looking forward to 1967 when Montreal will be the site of the naught Park near Hull where 100 racing days saw 200,000 spectators bet $8,115,253. In the Maritimes, where there was an over-all decline in at- tendance last year attributed to jexcessively rainy weather, largely on the assumption that the weather will be better. The Moncton Speedway, which came under new management in February and has been re- named Brunswick Downs, leads the expansion with plans to run 58 racing days compared with 32 last year. The season is tentatively set to run from May 20 to the end try, a factor in the optimistic outlook is the new system of grading harness horses which re piaces the old alphabetical list- ing that was practically, unde- jpherable for the averdge bet- . With grading basedjon such things as sex, gait, performance and age and with the introduc- tion of claiming races, the spec- tators will have more to go on in making up their minds about which horse to bet. While rain hurt attendance at such Maritimes tracks as Saint John, Fredericton, Summerside, Charlottetown and Sydney, it made little difference at,Monc- from $2,313,252"and Nova Scotia up to $3,743,508 from $3,635,368. Sackville Downs, near Hali- fax, the biggest sulky centre in the Maritimes, accounted for $2,221,502 of the betting total and, says general manager Jack Cruikshanks, had its "most suc- cessful season since opening in 1055." The Cape Breton Sports Cen- tre in Sydney, where wagering fe by $120,000 last year, hopes to hecoup with plans for a 300- seaf clubhouse and better wag- ering and canteen facilities. ADD NEW ROOF Charlottetown, where a 55-day sefson opens June 1, has four invitational races worth $2,500 eadh on the books for the sum- mer\ It rained practically every race Right last year but a new roof ofthe grandstand should add to spectator comfort this year . Manifoba, with 14 days of racing egain this year, is one region ere harness tacing remains mo: a codntry-fair sport. The July -T eet at the Manitoba Provincial Fair in Brandon is one of the few with pari-mutuel betting, accounting for the fact. only $11,552 was wagered in the province in 1962. Carman, which now has a one-day meet, is considering night racing and officials think it could attract spectators from Winnipeg, 50 miles away, and perhaps lead to a revival of in- hopes for this year are based) SHORGAS HEATING & APPLIANCES Industrial and Commercial The established, relichle Ges Dealer in your area. 31 CELINA ST.

Saskatchewan, where betting fell to $250,879 from $393,517 last year, is moving ahead cau- tiously. Regina, where opera- tors lost $2,800 last season, is planning six racing days com- pared with five in 1962. PROMOTER HAS PLAN This is the third year for top- flight harness racing in Alberta and the sport is making im- pressive strides. be 40 days of racing at Edmon- ton and Calgary as against 42 in 1962, purses will be bigger on the average. The season begins July 25 in Edmonton. Bill Connelly of Edmonton, president and general manager of Western Harness Raceways which controls the two Alberta tracks, has big plans. Through Delta Raceways he also con- trols the operation at Ladner, B.C., and he's negotiating for a 13-day meet at Yakima, Wash. If successful it will mean own- ers won't have to go to Eastern Canada or California to find races during gaps in the west- ern season. Paterson Park at Ladner, which handled ail of British Co- lumbia's $525,053 in wagers last year, up from $337,056 in 1962, is adding six days this year, for a total of 20, There will be racing four nights a week from June 1 to July 20 and the track is taking a gamble by schedul- ing races on six Mondays, in direct conflict with thorough- bred racing at Vancouver's Ex. hibition Park 20 miles north.
