referred to as the house that cam built is a monument to the horse featuring everything from cam fella clocks on the walls to a huge cabinet full of hardware he collected during his stunning two- year racing career cam fella helped us theres no question about that owner norman clements said from his wellappointed office which serves as headquarters for his national gym sporting goods empire national gym does about 25 million in business annually but it was cam fellas fortunes that allowed construction of a modern office complex at prince lee and paid for luxuries such as a sec luded cabin retreat and private golf course mr clements who comes across as more the common working man than the flashy busi ness tycoon and partner norm faulkner of stouffville parlayed an opportunistic 140000 us in vestment into one of the greatest success stories- in standardbred racing history cam fella under the guidance of drivertrainer pat crowe of ballantrae earned the nickname the pacing machine en route to becoming north americas two- time horse of the year the alltime money winner 2041367 is featured in a recent lyreleased video cam fella the legend starring all those who played a part in the incredi ble reallife success story and according to video narra tor fred c dobbs cam fella has proven at stud that hes as good in the sack as he was on the track one breeding expert even claimed the pacing machine now based at a breeding farm in rural new jersey could make a fencepost pregnant if given the chance cams first crop of six two- yearolds show lots of promise according to the owners especial ly a filly by the name of cam town lady though breeders were ori ginally reluctant to enter a syn dication deal when cam was a 3- yearold in 1982 that all changed when the horse began destroying every challenger in sight in its 4- yearold season today a cam fella share sells for 250000 us and rising if his first crop contains a champion or two the two norms have become close friends and they also remain business partners in the stouffvil le sales barn and a growing stan dardbred racing operation that now totals 121 horses we see eyetoeye on every damn thing that comes along- weve never had words mr faulkner said of their rela tionship they first met at sales barn back in 1981 and have been on the fast track together ever since cam made him a happy fella the success
