Manure Quickly Removed

An outbreak of swamp fever, a

horsefly-carried disease -which

struck two Peninsula. horses

earlier this summer, has not

caused alarm at Sandowne Race

Track this season.

“We are making sure that

manure is quickly removed’’ said

Gerald Milburn, racing steward,

“but we have not been alerted to

any danger.”

Over 300 horses are installed in

the barns, a mixture’ of Thoroughbred and Quarter- Horse animals.

French Canadian trainer Bob Molloy has -a_ betting tip. for. newcomers to the. race track. “Put your money on a horse that looks fresh and restive in. the paddock, a $500 horse will often outrun a $5,000 animal if he is in the mood!”’
