stouffville residents of the early 1980s will remember as the pacing machine took time out from his nostalgic north american farewell tour of race tracks to visit his old stouffville stamping grounds the dis tinguished 18yearold standardbred stallion had a 10day break from his fivemonth 31 stop tour and was back in his old stall at owner norm clements uxbridge area farm prince lee acres clements along with the late norm faulkner bought cam who was a twoyearold son of most happy fella back in early 1982 for 140000 us the two norms who coowned the stouffville country market back then hooked up with noted drivertrainer pat crowe and the rest is history the horse won his first 1 1 races and finished off with an amazing string of 28 victories for cam the tour marks the end of a prolific career which saw him excel as a competitor and as a breeding horse his track accomplishments are legion he was voted horse of the year in canada and the united states in 1982 and 1983 he posted more consecutive 200 wins than any standardbred in history and won more 100000plus races than any pacer ever he won his last 28 races before retiring to stud in 1983 and left holding track records at six

ryan memorial etc his win nings as a four year old totalled 1144056 more than any other four year old to that point he totalled 2041367 in winnings over his career cams statistics as a stud are also unmatched as the pacing machine soon gave way to the siring machine his average earnings per starter for his progeny stand at 94300 and he has sired eight sub- 150 horses a record one hundred and ninety one of his starters have taken records of 155 or faster while 157 have earned 100000 or more he is the sire of winners of eight breeders crowns four meadowlands pace winners four north america
