She was free. Free as a bird, spinning happily along the hillside, her dress whirling about her, all her cares and worries gone. She was human again, human for good, and the whole horrible nightmare of being a monster was gone, a wisp of a memory. He raced across the hillside and swept her up in his arms, and she swooned. She was human again, finally.
Caitlyn frowned. That girl was also a badly-acted character in a sappy movie on a TV set that couldn't even be heard over the din of the bar. Stupid Hollywood. What did they know about dealing with this? And then, as suddenly as she had appeared, the irritating girl vanished into the unreality that had spawned her as the bartender continued flipping through channels.
Reality was less enjoyable. Caitlyn had already turned down at least three guys who'd tried to pick her up, each with successively worse pick-up lines. "Win any races lately?" had to have been the worst of the lot, at least for tonight, and the bartender had barely stifled a laugh when she'd pounded a fist over the head it came from.
Kat had been dancing at the time. Actually, she was still dancing even now. The girl was an accident waiting to happen — waiting? Hah. That boat had sailed ages ago, and had probably docked in every major world port by now. Kat was a walking disaster area covered in black fur, but she was a pretty walking disaster area covered in black fur, and guys all-too-readily forgave her klutziness and cluelessness the moment they saw her face. Caitlyn was pretty sure a few guys even liked her for that klutziness and cluelessness.
Kat walked over, surrounded by a pair of what Caitlyn presumed were men. One was at least recognizable, in Caitlyn's mind a bit like a cross between cheetah and a lion, while the other could only be described as a tree. Not a walking, talking, tree-like man: A tree. Caitlyn looked down, and couldn't for the life of her figure out how he moved or where his roots went as they seemed to disappear in the floor. His leaves were orangey-red, and he seemed to have left a trail of them behind him where he'd been — well, for lack of a better term, dancing.
"Hiya, Caity!" shouted Kat cheerfully. "This is Alberto," she added, pointing at the tall, muscular, feline man on her right, "and this is Bob. He's a tree."
"I can see that," said Caitlyn.
"What? You have to speak up!" shouted Kat, still dancing slightly.
"Nevermind," said Caitlyn.
"Can we go home now?" shouted Caitlyn.
"What, why? Aren't you having fun?"
"No. Can we go home now?" blared Caitlyn as the music suddenly stopped. She paused as a few of the other patrons stared at her. The silence was broken as the DJ announced in a loud blaring monotone whose words were mostly garbled by the microphone that he was going on break, and that they shouldn't go anywhere because he'd be back in fifteen minutes.
"So anyway," said Kat, "what's the matter? There are tons of hot guys here."
"And a tree," said Caitlyn.
"Bob's cool!" said Kat. "He spends all day in Central Park. His job is to ask the other trees how they're doing and if they need anything. He saved the Park Service like fifty grand last year in like plant food and stuff."
"Right. Hi, Bob," said Caitlyn.
One of the tree's branches waved at her, and then the tree turned around — although she wasn't sure it had been facing toward her to begin with — and wandered off to the far side of the room where it struck up a conversation with a woman who appeared to have been partially turned into a bee.
"So, anyway, can we go?" asked Caitlyn.
"What? No way! You promised me three hours."
"I didn't promise three hours," said Caitlyn. "You told me I was going to be out for three hours, and then you stole my keys on the subway."
"I didn't steal them," said Kat. "I just borrowed them. You can have them back in... an hour and forty-five minutes."
Caitlyn's eyes rolled. They'd only been here an hour and fifteen? It felt like she ought to have grandchildren by now.
She blinked. Grandchildren? In this body? She had no intention of ever sticking some poor kid with half a horse for life, much less a grandkid. With any luck, she would die miserable, lonely, and childless, and her genes, her lousy rotten stinking genes, wouldn't get passed on to some poor —
"Hey, so I'm gonna go get a table with Alberto. You wanna come?" asked Kat.
"Nah, you kids have fun," said Caitlyn dryly. It didn't matter. She had a spare set of keys hidden, and if Kat was gonna spend the entire night out with yet another nameless Mister-tall-dark-and-fuzzy, that was her choice. The sooner Kat got lost, the sooner Caitlyn could go home, grab that carton of slightly-freezer-burned chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, put the Neverending Story into the DVD player, curl up on the couch as best she could, and drown in somebody else's crazy fantasies for awhile.
Kat wandered off with the the cheetah-lion man, and Caitlyn turned back to the bar. Her drink of choice tonight was, in fact, pink lemonade. Actually, it was always pink lemonade The bartender here had gotten to know her a little in the last couple of months that Kat had dragged her here, and there was always a pink lemonade ready for her, with a little umbrella and swizzle stick that made it look like a much harder drink than it actually was. And she usually didn't even drink it until she left: It was mainly just to ward off guys who wanted to buy her drinks as a pick-up line.
"You gonna drink that?" asked a man next to her.
"Eventually," she answered, and turned her head a little to glance at him. He was — well, near as she could tell, he looked human.
"You don't have to be human in here," she said. "Nobody else is."
"Yeah, I know," he said. "Best Change club in the city."
She waited.
"So, you gonna change, or what?" she grumped.
"You can't change back?"
"I'm human."
She eyed him quizzically. "Then what're you doing here?"
"Enjoying," he said, smiling right into her eyes. He had a strong jawline, and wavy hair, and the way his eyes shimmered — no, she was not going to be attracted to him, no matter how good-looking he was.
"Very funny," she said, ripping her eyes away and turning back to her drink. "That your best pick-up line?"
"Oh, I have plenty more. Which I'd use if I were trying to pick you up. Which I'm not. Just friendly conversation, y'see? Beats trying to watch that TV over there."
Caitlyn nodded.
"So what's the deal?" she asked. "You got some kind of weird Change fetish or something?"
"No, I just come for the drinks," he said.
She glanced at his glass. Water. No ice.
"You're very strange. And — I'm very going home," she added, as Kat walked out the front door with the cheetah-lion man, oblivious to anyone else. "Pleased to meet you, goodbye."
"Where's home?" the man beside her asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know," she said. She downed her drink and started to back away from the bar.
"Actually, I would," he said, his hand suddenly landing — gently — on hers. A tingle ran up her arm and her hand nearly jerked free of its own accord. He looked up at her with those dark, shining brown eyes, and she stopped moving. He wasn't attractive. He wasn't. He was — just a guy. With wavy hair. And besides, she was ugly. Which meant that those gorgeous deep eyes couldn't possibly be looking at her like that.
"Hah, uh, I... uh... the east side. 96th. I mean 97th. I mean — but — it's just an apartment. The Pembroke Apartments. But I've only lived there a few years. I'm actually from out on Long Island. Why do you want to kn — "
"She brought you here, right? I've seen you two before. That girl's something else. She loves it, you hate it, you two're a great match-up. You're an indoorsy kinda person, and she drags you here 'for your own good,' right? You don't fit these clubs any more than I do, but I don't do the home alone thing as well as you do. I hate the clubs, but I'm a people person, y'see? So how about next Friday, I pick you up, she sees you go out, and we can separate at Central Park? You get your night back, I get something to do with a Friday night, and she's happy you're 'doing something with your time.' It's probably a quick jog back for you once she's gone."
Caitlyn bit her lip. She didn't want to give him credit for a good idea, but —
"O — okay. That's — that's not a bad idea."
"It's settled then. Friday night at seven, it's a not-a-date. I'm Wils, by the way."
"'Wills?' Not 'Will?'"
"Mom was Belgian," he said. "A 'W,' an 'I,' only one 'L,' and an 'S.' I'd tell you my last name, but you'd never even hope to spell it. I was in high school before I got it right the first time."
"Yeah, uh, don't bother then."
"So, anyway, Friday at seven?" he asked, his hand still resting gently on hers.
"Uh... sure. Friday at seven."
She blinked a few times, realized she was staring at him, yanked her hand free, turned, and darted away. Slamming full-speed into the glass exit door, she turned toward him and smiled stupidly, opened it, and ran out at a faster gallop she'd ever imagined existed.
Caity's World, Part 2 by phantom-inkerWatch

This is part 2. Part 1 is here. Part 3 is here. The introduction and author's notes are here.
Again, please be kind with your comments. And if you like it, or have questions or comments or any opinions at all, please say something; I'm a lot more insecure than I seem sometimes, and the comments are the only thing keeping me going on this.

Another bad pickup line:Can I ride you?LOL
And thus ends another episode of "America's Changed Bachelorettes" XD
Hmmm. Very nice. I wonder though, is that bar using bullet-proof glass in its frame? A centaur at full tilt would smash through ordinary glass. Just my opinion though. Very nice chapter though. Characters are very real and completely believable. Great Job!
I think she was at a fast walking pace at the time, not even a trot. She didn't have enough momentum to do anything other than look really, really stupid.
Mmm... good one! A guy who's perhaps actually trying to help her out with her friend issues.
The 13th paragraph down, you use 'blaring' twice. It works very well for the speaker system, but looks odd when paired with what Caitlyn's saying. Words that are used all the time (said, was, the, and... really common things) don't catch the eye so.

Yah, it probably needs to be fixed. I've caught a few other errors in rereading this over the last few months, and if I ever were to dare publishing it in print (hah!), I'd probably want to fix those. But overall, the story's pretty clean; I tried hard to catch as many mistakes as I could before it "went to print."
I did spot other errors throughout the work, but... you didn't ask for another editor, so most of them I didn't comment on. (smiles)
- and this is Bob. Hes a tree.
LOL! The parts with Bob in them had me cracking up. xD Nice second part. I, too, am somewhat suspicious of Wils... and poor Caitlyn. Nice job writing the enthusiastic-friend-drags-not-so-enthusiastic-friend-out-to-a-bar-syndrome.
I liked the first paragraph, too. Thought it was a dream at first.

I liked the start a lot Especially the pick up line hahaha
I'm really enjoying this, even though I never usually read stuff of this genre. You've really got talent; you ever thought about becoming an author?
While I occasionally enjoy writing, my day job pays quite well, and in all honesty, I'm better at it than I am at writing. But from time to time I may dabble in fiction, and while this is the first full novel I've dared show the public, it may not be my last.
Well, maybe not become a novelist, then, but I'd sure love to see this published. Awesome stuff.
I really like this story. I don't normally read prose, but his has hooked me in right from the beginning.
I'm so glad you got a DD for the first part, or I might never have found this gem
*skips off to read part three*

Thank you so much! I don't know if it's a "gem," but I sure hope it's at least a tolerably interesting read!

So far, so good.
I like him. He seems perfect for her. I'd love to see them get together and rub Kat's face in it.
But I agree with Kent above. This went too easily, too well. Something's wrong with their relationship.

I can't help feel like it's a little bit insulting showing up to a change bar where people who might want to be human again, to rub their faces in the fact that you're human.
Obviously something is strange about this guy, though, so we'll see...
...maybe he's a recruiter.

Nice chapter! Great job with the stranger part.
I don't normally comment but i have to say i am REALLY into your type of drawing and writing, really up my street dude.
i like it, its refreshing to see someone as a centaur who didnt want it for once.
naturally im hoping she starts to enjoy herself at some point!

Hmmm interesting, me thinks that he may be human, he might have something up his sleeve.
Great job, this pretend date sounds like it will develop into something more
Great job, this pretend date sounds like it will develop into something more
Hehe! Well first I have to tell you that out of all the art that appeared on my f-list page, I went straight for your story first - and I'm usually dragging my feet when it comes to reading the poetry and stories that usually get put up here. There's definitely something addicting and fantastic about your story! I love the unusual Changes you choose to describe, I've never actually pictured a part-bumblebee creature before but now it's stuck in my head. *grins* Can't wait to read the next part!
*laugh* And here I thought that was just a side comment! I generally try to pack what I can into a story sentence, not in density of words, but in density of concepts: If written right, every other sentence should suggest a new possibility that the reader hasn't even dreamed of. Of course, that's a lofty goal, and I'm not sure I meet it very often, but it's at least what I shoot for
*is feeling very flattered right now and hopes the rest of the story will be worthy of such accolades*
*is feeling very flattered right now and hopes the rest of the story will be worthy of such accolades*
Ah, character development. What turns me off of many stories of this kind are that other writers focus on... other aspects of the story. I like this, it seems more real, despite the unreality of it. Looking forward to more.
Glad you liked it! I try to keep the characters believable when possible; goodness only knows if I'm succeeding
Hmmm ... methinks there is something suspicious of this strange person ...
Can'yt wait to see what happens next
Can'yt wait to see what happens next
Really? How do you figure?
I'm not sure ... his suavity makes me go all shifty-eyed about him. Can't explain why.
Funny, and here I thought I was doing a pretty good job of channeling an even mix of Hugh Grant and Hugh Jackman
Hmmm, maybe it's just me then. I know if a guy came up and talked to me like that, I'd be like, "Are you a spy?! You're totally a spy, aren't you? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!"
Maybe I'm not the best example.
Maybe I'm not the best example.

Winter harness racing action ramped up Friday night at Woodbine Racetrack with round one of The Count B and Ontario Girls Series. Each series featured a pair of divisions for their opening leg. A group of 14 sophomore pacing colts and geldings were split into two $17,000 The Count B divisions, while 15 Ontario sired four-year-old pacing mares competed in two $18,000 Ontario Girls splits. The Count B Series for three-year-old pacing colts and geldings saw the first split go to a newcomer north of the border. War N Munn went gate to wire for a 1:54.1 victory. The son of Stonebridge Regal shipped in from the Kerin Warner barn into the care of trainer Carmen Auciello. Driven by Jonathan Drury, War N Munn fired out to the front and got to dictate the pace. After posting panels of :27.4, :57.1 and 1:25.2, War N Munn opened up several lengths of separation and cruised home in :28.4 for a 6¾ lengths victory. St Lads Charger, who sat fourth for the majority of the mile, finished second, while New Standard came from last to finish third. War N Munn is owned by George Munniksma. The sophomore pacer was making his 2016 debut after winning two of nine starts as a rookie for earnings of $43,011. War N Munn established a new career mark with his 1:54.1 victory. He paid $10.10 to win. War N Munn The combination of Drury and Auciello appeared to have a good shot to sweep The Count B first leg, as they teamed up with the 3/5 favourite Big Bang Boom in the second split. Drury stepped on the accelerator at the start and blasted Big Bang Boom to the lead. The Auciello trainee went untouched through solid fractions of :26.2, :55.3 and 1:24.1 to lead by almost five-lengths turning for home. Three Truths, the 7/2 second choice, came out from fifth around the final turn for driver Sylvain Filion and sat seven-lengths off the lead at the three-quarter pole. In the stretch, Big Bang Boom ran out of steam at the eighth-pole and was swallowed up by a hard-charging Three Truths, who stopped the clock in 1:55.1. Gotti finished two-lengths back in second, while Big Bang Boom held on to hit the board in third. A son of Shadow Play, Three Truths is trained by Richard Moreau for owners Ratchford Stable and Brian Shebib. The Count B opening leg victory is the first win in four starts this season for the sophomore pacer. Three Truths won three of eighth starts last season and now has a career bankroll of $23,060. Friday's clocking of 1:55.1 established a new career mark for the son of Shadow Play. Three Truths paid $9.50 to win.

Much Adoo, the 9/5 favourite, got away second, but was quickly circled to the lead in the second-quarter by driver Doug McNair. Fresh off her Blizzard Series victory, Double Olives found a seat in fourth and sat there until angling out first-over just after the half. Much Adoo posted middle-fractions of :57 and 1:25, while Double Olives pulled to within less than a length of the lead turning for home. In the stretch, the public's top two choices went toe-to-toe with Much Adoo holding off a battling Double Olives to win by a length in 1:54. Pinky Tuscadero, who sat second-over turning for home, finished third. A daughter of Classic Card Shark, Much Adoo picked up her second win in three starts this season for trainer Cody Henry. She is owned by Aaron Waxman and Alan Alber. Much Adoo increased her career earnings to over $97,000 with her seventh career victory Friday. She paid $5.90 to win.

TORONTO, January 28 - Harness racing trainer Carmen Auciello celebrated a career milestone Thursday night at Woodbine Racetrack. The 35-year-old conditioner sent out four-year-old Mach Three mare Twin B Sweetheart to victory in Thursday's fourth-race and surpassed $10 million in career earnings with the victory. A Stouffville, Ontario resident, Auciello entered Thursday's program just $6,823 shy of the milestone. Auciello's stable has earned over $200,000 in the first month of 2016. Last season, the conditioner put up career high numbers with 194 victories and over $2.7 million in earnings. Auciello, who recorded his first starts as a trainer in 2004, was the top trainer of the 2015 Mohawk Racetrack meet and overall on the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) circuit in 2014. This season, Auciello leads all conditioners on the WEG circuit with 10 victories. He will look to keep things rolling with eight starters entered to go this weekend at Woodbine. The Woodbine Entertainment Group would like to extend its congratulations to Carmen on his milestone. Twin B Sweetheart Mark McKelvie
There are some athletes, who are to their sport — like jam is to peanut butter. They come together like eggs to bacon. They blend. They become one, an osmosis in the world of sweat — like Jordan and basketball; a puck and Gretzky, baseball with The Babe. One without the other is intellectually indigestible. So, it is, that harness racing has always had its Filion and a Waples. Or two. Jody Jamieson is a multiple O'Brien Award winner and John Campbell is regarded with a reverence rarely heard this side of a Gordie Howe conversation. Some, such as Sylvain Filion, who leads the drivers' standings with Canada's top harness circuit moving to Mohawk Thursday from Woodbine, continue to hold the standard high for the old world order. But, look close enough, and it is evident that standardbred racing is also coming into a new age. The twitter generation is making its move. A younger, perhaps bolder more aggressive, and evidently a talented wave of young drivers has taken a foothold in the industry. Perhaps never before has so much young blood lined up horses behind a starting gate. "I think it has changed quite a bit," says Doug McNair, who at age 25, sits second in the driver's standings behind only Filion. "Even if you go back just a few years, most guys had to be in their 30s before they could race (on the Woodbine/Mohawk circuit) full-time. Me, Jon Drury, and a couple others, all came in about the same time and I think it's good for the sport. "When you have the younger drivers well, they tend to hang out with a younger crowd and I think it might get more younger people ... a new generation of people coming out to the track." There is certainly a new generation taking over on the track. With the switch-over to Mohawk, three of the five top drivers have yet to see a 30th candle lit on their birthday cake. Drury, from Rockwood, Ont., is fifth with 37 wins. McNair, has 62 wins in 332 starts, just six behind Filion. James MacDonald, who at age 28 recorded his 1,000th lifetime win last season, sits in third spot with 44 wins. "I think I've got a lot of good years ahead. Most of the better, older drivers didn't get to their best until their mid-30s," said MacDonald, who grew up in a racing family in Prince Edward Island. "A younger group is starting to break through ... a few of us have gotten noticed." Noticed is a modest way of putting it. McNair surpassed the 2,000-win mark last year and ranked as the top Ontario Sires Stakes driver. In 2008, at age 18, he became the youngest driver in harness-racing history to win a $300,000 purse in the Battle of Waterloo. Horses, he has always realized, would be his life. His father Gregg, one of Canada's top conditioners with over $31 million in career earnings, got him started in the sport. "I was only five or six years old maybe when it happened, but there's a picture in my bedroom of me sitting on a bike in the winner's circle after (Filion) won a race with one of my dad's horses. Now I'm 25 and I'm getting a chance to go out there every night with some of these guys. How great is that. Sure, I have my bad days sometimes and I'm not happy when I leave the track — but there's nothing else I'd rather be doing," said Doug, "lots of four- and five-year-old kids dream of going to the NHL. I always dreamt of going to the track and racing." Like McNair, Drury and MacDonald both grew up in racing families. Unlike McNair, Drury and MacDonald had to find, or rediscover, their passion for racing after some alternative adolescent diversions. "I played hockey, I played baseball. You name it, I played it," said MacDonald, who enjoyed his job at the track canteen in Charlottetown, but rarely hung out at the family or track barns. Both his parents worked at the local track, the family was into the breeding business and his brothers Mark and Anthony were already on track to successful careers as drivers. "My brothers were always obsessed with the horses. I wasn't," said MacDonald. After graduating Grade 12, he worked a summer in Campbellville for his brother Anthony but, "I didn't enjoy it that much to be honest" and he returned to college in P.E.I. Everything changed the following summer when he went back to Campbellville and his brother put him on a bike. "I don't really know what changed. Maybe I was older. Maybe it was just I knew people and had more friends but I loved it." And, the game, it turned out, loved him back. Last year, he drove Muscle Babe to a stakes-record performance in the $178,287 Standardbred Breeders of Ontario Association final for three-year-old filly trotters in an impressive 1:54. His purse earnings this season already top $800,000. "I can't imagine doing anything else. Even if I'm having a bad night and I go to the gate I still believe I've got the best job in the world." Drury could be building racetracks rather than racing on them. While he also grew up in a racing family — his father Barry worked at Mohawk, still trains horses and once worked for the legendary Ron Waples as an assistant trainer at the old Meadowlands — he toyed with the idea of becoming an architect. "I really enjoyed it, and woodworking in high school. I thought about going to university but I ended up finishing high school and ... well, racing kind of took over. I guess it was just in my blood." He started at a small track in Woodstock, his father gave him a leg up with a few horses. "Mostly it's about opportunity. You have to get a chance to drive some decent horses ... when people see you winning at the smaller places they start to be more willing to let you go to the big tracks," said Drury. A move to Kawartha Downs a few years later and teaming up with top trainers Corey Johnson and Carmen Auciello was the birth of his "Made It" moment. "I was a regular driver there (Kawartha Downs) and they started using me and we developed a relationship and it just snowballed from there," said Drury, who also raced at Pocono for Auciello. "It was a great experience. I think it really helped me to be to where I am at today. It's a different style of racing (at the Poconos), it taught me a lot and I think its made me a better driver now." Since then he has become an integral part in the development of O'Brien Award winner Vegas Vacation, guiding the colt to victory in his first lifetime start at Mohawk Racetrack. Ultimate goals: For MacDonald? "You try not to look at the standings but you do ... It would be to win a drivers title at WEG," he said. "To me the biggest thrill is still to have a full card against the best drivers that I grew up idolizing. We're young ... at this age you're eager to prove (yourself). We want to win and be like the guys who've been in this sport a long time." Thursday, McNair has six races on the opening card at Mohawk in a season in which he is off to his best career start, and one he hopes will culminate with his ultimate dream: The O'Brien Trophy (awarded annually to Canadian harness-racing's best and brightest) and a driving championship. "I picked up some good horses to start the year and it just seems to have snowballed from there," said McNair. "In 2013 I got nominated, along with Filion, for driver of the year. He was always one of the guys I idolized when I was a kid. When that happened I felt like I belonged." They have taken different paths to get to where they belong, but standardbred's young guns are arriving at the finish line together. Said Drury: "When you're racing at Woodbine and Mohawk you're obviously doing something right. Just knowing I'm racing with the best is kind of a special feeling ... In the past, owners have always gone with the experienced guys. It's nice to see some of the younger guys get a shot, with good horses, because I do think it's good for the sport.

TORONTO, December 27 - The 2014 harness racing season concluded Saturday night at Woodbine Racetrack and although there was little drama for the WEG driving title, the final card was needed to decide the season's top trainer. Chris Christoforou entered Saturday evening with a comfortable eight win lead over Jody Jamieson in the driver's standings, but Carmen Auciello came into the final card with only a two win lead over Richard Moreau for the training title. Both trainers sent out a plethora of horses Saturday evening, with Auciello's barn sending out eight starters and Moreau's sending out ten. The Moreau trained Ray Hall captured the first race of the evening to get his trainer to within a win of the top spot, but the Auciello trained Camaes Fellow would extend the lead back to two with a victory in the seventh race. Montreal Phil would come through in the tenth race with a victory to get Moreau back to within a win of Auciello with both trainers sending out their final starter in the next race. In the eleventh race, the Moreau trained Naked City left hard to grab the early lead, while the Auciello trained Glammit came first up down the backstretch to battle with the leader. In the stretch, Naked City would relinquish the lead late in the mile to finish third, but Glammit dug in to score the first over victory and secure the training title for Auciello. Auciello finished the 2014 WEG season with 95 victories, while Moreau's two victories Saturday night gave him a total of 93 wins. Auciello, 34, is wrapping up a career best season. The Stouffville resident's starters banked more than $2.6 million this year, with $1.6 million of those earnings coming on the WEG circuit. This is Auciello's first WEG training title. As for the driving title, Christoforou completed his 2014 resurgence with his first WEG driving title since 2003. Christoforou, 43, picked a single victory Saturday night to finish the 2014 season with 226 victories at Mohawk and Woodbine Racetracks. Jamieson, who won two races Saturday evening, finished second with 219 wins and Sylvain Filion, the reigning driving title champion, finished third with 201 wins. Filion led all drivers in earnings for 2014 on the WEG circuit with over $5.3 million in earnings, while Christoforou drove winners of over $4.8 million. The 2014 WEG driving title is one of several accomplishments for Christoforou this season, including surpassing 6,000 wins and $100 million in earnings. Christoforou was also recently named a finalist for the O'Brien Award as Canada's Driver of the Year. Live racing resumes next Saturday, January 3rd at Woodbine Racetrack and continues on a four-nights-a-week schedule of Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in 2015. Post time each evening is 7:25 p.m. Mark McKelvie WEG Communications - Standardbred
Camaes Fellow ($16.80) was a dominant wire-to-wire winner in Saturday night's $30,000 top conditioned pace at Woodbine Racetrack and was the first half of a double for driver Jonathan Drury and trainer Carmen Auciello. Camaes Fellow sprinted out the lead from post four in the eighth race, forcing eventual third-place finisher Calgary Seelster to take back into the two-hole through a hot :25.2 first quarter. He led by four lengths through middle splits of :54 and 1:21.4 and cruised home for the 1:50.1 triumph. Nickle Bag stormed home from last to place with :26.2 final quarter speed. The final margin was two and a half lengths. Auciello and Stephen Klunowski claimed the six-year-old Mach Three gelding for $50,000 in his first start this year on Oct. 11 at Mohawk and he has since won half of his six starts while earning $41,200 for his new connections. The win was Camaes Fellow's 25th lifetime and bumped his bankroll to $866,570. To view the rest of this story click here.
YONKERS, NY, Friday, November 28, 2014 - Yonkers Raceway's Friday night $21,000 harness racing featured fairer-sex pace was won by a cone-skimming Palm Patrol (Mark MacDonald, $34). Sitting third along the pylons from post position No. 2, Palm Patrol saw Sir Jillian Z Tam (Pat Lachance) seemingly in control through (:28, :58.1, 1:28.2). Getting no grief from a first-up Rock N Load (Jordan Stratton), "Jillian" owned a length-and-and-half lead into the lane, but was about to hit the wall. Cooking the Books (Eric Carlson) edged from the pocket, leaving the passing lane for Palm Patrol...and she did indeed pass. The latter whipped the former by a head in 1:54.3, with a closing Our Els Dream N (Jason Bartlett), Sir Jillian Z Tam and 3-2 favorite Road Bet (George Brennan) settling for the small change. For sixth choice Palm Patrol, a 5-year-old daughter of Mach Three owned by Robert Burgess and trained by Carmen Auciello, it was her sixth win (third consecutive) in 35 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $120, the triple returned $1,580 and the superfecta paid $10,524. Friday's Pick 5, which began with a carryover of $3,699.73, saw a new $10,781.52 invested. The winning combination of 4-4-7-5-2 returned $734.50 for every half-a-buck, not entirely bad for a sequence that included three winning favorites a one second choice. The Raceway's five-program-per-week live schedule changes, with first post every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM, and the fourth of six Sunday matinees (replacing Tuesday evenings) this weekend at 11 AM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all night programs, with afternoon simulcasting available daily. Frank Drucker
Scottish Cross trotted to a new track record for older trotting mares at Monticello Raceway on Wednesday, September 24 when Mike Merton guided the 9 year old daughter of Angus Hall to a 1:56.4 triumph. That clocking erased the former standard of 1:57 co-held by Aren't I Hanover and Mymomsablizzard, both set last year. It marked the second time in just a week that a track record was lowered. On September 17, Bruce Aldrich Jr. drove On The Podium to a 1:56.2 victory which was a new standard for older trotting geldings. In all, thus far during the 2014 season here nine new track marks were established. Scottish Cross came to the Mighty M three weeks ago from Canada with trainer Carmen Auciello where she had been racing splendidly in claiming races. Mike Merton picked up the catch-drive behind her and in her first start here on September 10 Scottish Cross was victorious in 1:58 while racing against $10, 000 claimers, she with a $12,000 claiming allowance tag. A move up to the $15,000 claiming ranks -she raced for $18,750 with her allowance-- the following week resulted in a third place finish behind On The Podium's 1:56.2 track record. But yesterday (Sept. 24), back down and with a $12,500 claiming tag, Merton let Scottish Cross air-out as they trotted to an oh-so-easy nine-length track record victory over Bertos Angel and Jimmy Taggart, Jr. "She was pretty handy," Merton said of Scottish Cross who raced on the front-end from the get-go. "I was just sitting on her as we passed the half (in :57.4) and we were just a length in front at that point but as we headed up the backside I asked her a bit and we began to open daylight and the farther we went the more of a lead we had." At the wire Scottish Cross was nine lengths in front of runner-up Bertos Angel. Third place in that six-horse field went to Sir Siro (Jimmy Marohn, Jr.) However, as famous newscaster Paul Harvey often said, 'now for the rest of the story'. Trainer Bob Lounsbury's patron, Philip Schultz, plunked down the 12 large and they took her from her previous owners, Denarben Stables and Rocco Auciello. Sent off as the betting favorite in the race Scottish Cross won for the 12th time this year and returned a $3.20 win payoff. by John Manzi, for Monticello Raceway
Mohawk Racetrack had four $18,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots Series contests for rookie pacing fillies on their Thursday (September 11) harness racing program, and Sassafras Girl took the fastest time as she won the third flight in 1:53.3. With Phil Hudon handling the driving chores, Sassafras Girl shot to the lead from her post three starting position, and she would click off fractions of :27, :56, and 1:25. The fillies sprinted for home off that 59 second middle half, and Sassafras Girl kicked out a :28.3 final panel to seal the win by two and a quarter lengths over Twin B Honour (Trevor Henry). Little Miss Artist (Doug McNair) was third. Murray Brethour trains Sassafras Girl, a Badlands Hanover filly, for owner Hutt Racing Stable of Paoli, Pennsylvania. Sassafras Girl, who is now four-for-eight overall and has banked $31,280, was bred by Winbak Farm. She's out of the Die Laughing mare Tug River Della ($219,395) and a half-sister to the likes of Rub N Tug ($433,999). This was Sassafras Girl's third Grassroots success of the season, joining her wins on July 10 and August 11 at Mohawk. Back in the Grassroots opener public choice Southwind Luna (Billy Davis Jr.) carved out fractions of :27.2, :56.4, and 1:26.2, and at the eighth pole she was clear by over three lengths. However, she began to falter inside the final sixteenth, and pocket-sitter Marachere (Jonathan Drury) took advantage, getting up in the shadow of the wire to prevail by half a length in 1:54.4. Southwind Luna had to settle for second and OK Hallelujah (Sylvain Filion) finished third. Marachere, a filly by Lis Mara, broke her maiden in her third try and pushed her earnings to $15,660. Trainer Carmen Auciello of Stouffville, Ontario, also co-owns Marachere with partners Robert Watson of London, Armando Cappuccitti of Maple and Mike Bartram of Ingersoll, Ontario. Marachere, who was bred by Ervin Miller Stable Inc., is the second foal out of the Cole Muffler mare Cherry Tree Coco, a full sister to Home Bed Advantage ($574,535). Race favourite Ride Away Shark (Jody Jamieson) had her backers smiling after a 1:54.4 triumph in the second Grassroots flight. She was in the lead at the 27 second opening quarter, the :55.3 half, and the 1:24.4 three-quarters on her way to a three-quarter length decision over Dublin Rose (Paul MacDonell). Amazing Control (Mike Saftic) checked in third. Ride Away Shark, another Winbak Farm-bred filly, has a trio of victories from eight attempts and has put away $28,480 for trainer Scott McNiven and owners Kim McNiven of Putnam and Thomas Brodhurst of London, Ontario. Those connections took Ride Away Shark, a daughter of Classic Card Shark, out of last year's Forest City Yearling Sale for $7,000. She's the first foal out of the Dream Away mare Freedom Away. This was Ride Away Shark's second Grassroots win of the year as she was also victorious on August 11 at Mohawk. The Grassroots nightcap was brought to you by the number three as Ms Mac N Cheese (Sylvain Filion) posted her third consecutive Grassroots win and breeder Winbak Farm won for the third time. Ms Mac N Cheese worked her way around Machin Marley (Billy Davis Jr.) for the lead at the :27.1 opening quarter, and she would go on to post a :56.2 half and a 1:25.4 three-quarters. Ms Mac N Cheese padded her advantage through the stretch and then coasted home late to win by two and a half lengths in 1:54 flat. She was followed across the finish line by Evas Girl (Peter Core) and OK Heavenly (Doug McNair). Richard Moreau trains the victorious Badlands Hanover filly for owner L. David Ratchford of North Sydney, Nova Scotia. She has five wins from seven attempts this season, and she has earned $33,467. The second foal out of the Artiscape mare Mr Delis Filly, Ms Mac N Cheese was sold for $10,000 at last year's Standardbred Horse Sale. Tonight's races concluded the Grassroots regular season for two-year-old pacing fillies. They will return to Mohawk on September 19 for their Semifinal events.

Four $18,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots tests for three-year-old pacing fillies were held on Monday night (August 25) at Mohawk Racetrack, and Dana Dearest remained hot as she picked up her third consecutive Grassroots victory. Driven by Chris Christoforou, it looked like Dana Dearest was up against it inside the final sixteenth as Mea Lilley Mark (Mike Saftic) had cleared to the lead out of the pocket and opened up a clear advantage. However, Dana Dearest kicked it into another gear nearing the finish line, and she would get up to win by a head over Mea Lilley Mark in 1:52.1. Double Joy (Mario Baillargeon) finished third. Dana Dearest, a daughter of Jeremes Jet, is trained by Casie Coleman for owner/breeder Charalambos Christoforou of Campbellville, Ontario. Dana Dearest was winless in four starts last year, but she's turned it around in her sophomore campaign, going seven-for-13. She has season's earnings of $62,820 and a career bankroll of $67,048. Division points leader Her Own Land (James MacDonald) was also gunning for her third straight Grassroots triumph in the night's third division, but she fell short. Her Own Land was in the lead through fractions of :27, :55, and 1:23.4, but in deep stretch Born To Dream (Doug McNair) forged her way by after a pocket trip, and it would be Born To Dream who won by a length a career-best 1:51.3. Her Own Land had to settle for second on this night and Shadows Wonder (Christoforou) bagged third. A winner in Grassroots competition on August 3 at Clinton Raceway, Born To Dream now has three total victories this season and four career triumphs. The daughter of Camluck, trained by Tony O'Sullivan for owner/breeder Lomangino Standardbreds of Tinton Falls, New Jersey, has banked $39,930 on the campaign and $49,726 lifetime. Monday night's other two winners posted their first wins in Grassroots action this year. In the opener Artful Impulse (Randy Waples) took the lead past the :27.2 opening quarter and didn't look back en route to a 1:52.3 score, and in the nightcap Regil Meg (Anthony MacDonald) worked out a three-hole trip and then paced by the leaders in the lane to prevail in 1:53. Artful Impulse is trained by Bob McIntosh, whose stable of Windsor, Ontario, bred and now co-owns the daughter of Artistic Fella with partners Dwight Stacey of Mitchell and James Walker of Port Perry, Ontario. This was win number three from 16 starts this year for Artful Impulse, and it was her fourth career victory. She has put away $73,480 in 2014 and $94,385 in her life. Carmen Auciello trains Regil Meg, another filly by Artistic Fella, for owners Denarben Stables of Thornhill and Rocco Auciello of Stouffville, Ontario. She now has a pair of triumphs from 15 attempts in 2014, and this was the third win of her career. She has pocketed $26,240 this season and $101,988 lifetime. From the Ontario Sire Stakes
Elora, ON --- A total of seven $16,740 Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots Series divisions for 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers were featured on Monday night (July 21) at Grand River Raceway and they saved the fastest split for last as Single White Sock toured the half-mile oval in 1:56. With Scott Coulter at the lines, Single White Sock was in front through fractions of :27.4, :58, and 1:27.3. Single White Sock turned away a big three-wide bid by Twin B Scandal (Joe Hudon) past three-quarters, and he then kicked clear in the lane to prevail by 2-1/4 lengths. Twin B Scandal wound up second with Pan Street USA (Bob McClure) back in third. It was the second win in three starts for Single White Sock, a Badlands Hanovercolt trained by Barry Treen for owner Len Gamble. Tanya Prescott bred Single White Sock, who was purchased for $24,000 at the 2013 Canadian Yearling Sale. Single White Sock, an earner of $17,281, is the fifth foal out of the Apaches Fame mare Love You Dear, making him a half-brother to millionaire and former Ontario Sires Stakes winner Ramegade Bruiser. Camluck, the long-time stalwart sire of the Ontario Sires Stakes program, had a pair of winners with Big Moment winning the second division in 1:56.1 with Alfie Carroll handling the driving assignment and Mike's Powerhouse picking up a 1:56.4 victory in the third section for driver Trevor Henry. Big Moment broke his maiden in his second attempt for trainer Bob McIntosh, who also bred the colt with CSX Stables. McIntosh and partner Max Newham own Big Moment, the fourth foal out of the No Pan Intended mare Breathtacular. Breathtacular is related to two six-figure earners in Breathdefying and Lucky Encounter. Mike's Powerhouse, who is out of the Artsplace mare Michelle's Jackpot, making him a full brother to the likes of 2012 Little Brown Jug champion and millionaire Michael's Power and millionaire Michelle's Power, is trained by Casie Coleman for owner-breeder Jeff Snyder. Mike's Powerhouse was victorious at first asking after finishing fourth and first in two qualifiers at Mohawk Racetrack. Coleman was right back in the winner's circle in the next race after Mike's Powerhouse's victory as her Sportskeeper (Jody Jamieson) romped to a an 8-1/4 length decision in 1:56.3. Coleman also bred and co-owns Sportskeeper, a Sportswriter colt, with partner Merlin Howse. Sportskeeper, who was also making the initial start of his racing career, is the third foal out of the Nuclear Flash mare Keeper Flying, which means Sportskeeper is a half-brother to former Ontario Sires Stakes competitor Keepers Destiny (Intrepid Seelster, $702,855). Sportswriter had another siring credit with Half A Billion, who was a 1:57.3 victor in the sixth Grassroots flight. Mike Saftic drove the colt for trainer Marcel Barrieau. Half A Billion is a homebred for the Hudson Standardbred Stable and he is a perfect two-for-two in his career and in Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots Series competition. Half A Billion, the fifth foal out of the Western Hanover mare Racey Miss, is a half-brother to multiple OSS winner Racey Miss ($214,571) and Petite Courageuse ($195,733). Also picking up victories were: Bridge Of Stone, a Stonebridge Regal-Dreamlands Sachi (Western Hanover) gelding, who halted the clock in 1:57.3 for driver Scott Coulter, trainer Carmen Auciello, and owners Denarben Stables and Rocco Auciello. He has won both of his Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots Series tries The Fire Within, a gelding by Whosurboy and out of the Big Towner mare Mollie Hanover. The half-brother to Illusionist ($893,246) picked up his second win from three attempts for driver Jody Jamieson and breeder/owner/trainer Fred Drouillard. The next time the 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers of the Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots Series will be in action is August 15 at Mohawk Racetrack.

After a stint in the breeding shed, 7-year-old trotter Wishing Stone is ready to make his 2014 harness racing debut in a conditioned handicap Friday at the Meadowlands. Wishing Stone received post 10 in the race and is 9-2 on the morning line. He enters the race off one qualifier, a 1:55.2 effort on June 20 with Yannick Gingras driving for trainer Ron Burke. Undercover Strike is the 3-1 favorite, followed by Mistery Woman at 7-2 and Spider Blue Chip at 4-1. Wishing Stone stood as a stallion at Deo Volente Farms in New Jersey. He fulfilled contracts for 331 doses of frozen semen overseas as well as being bred to some 30 mares in North America. Although it is common for trotters overseas to breed and race in the same season, that is not the case in North America. Some well-known successes abroad include Ready Cash, who is France's richest trotter in history in addition to being a popular sire, and Coktail Jet and Mack Lobell, who both won the prestigious Elitloppet after performing stud duties. "It's a fun experiment and I think it's going to work," said Mike Gulotta, the CEO of Deo Volente Farms and head of the Wishing Stone Syndicate ownership group. "Actually, the first part of it has worked. We're excited." Gulotta hopes to see Wishing Stone get a boost as a stallion thanks to a new bonus program at the Meadowlands for New Jersey-sired horses. "I think now that people see that things will be changing in New Jersey, there will be a lot more interest in him and other Jersey stallions next year," Gulotta said. "Sometimes people need to see that something is actually happening in order to commit." Wishing Stone is well known in Europe, having competed there at ages 4 and 5. In 2011, he won the French trotting race Grand Prix du Sud Ouest at 1-5/16 mile and also the King's Trophy in Sweden. He was second in the Gran Premio Continentale in Italy. A year later, he captured the Copenhagen Cup in Denmark at a distance of 1-1/4 mile. He finished his European campaign with a second-place finish in the Jubilee Trophy for 5-year-old trotters in Sweden. He returned to the U.S. in August 2012 to continue his career in North America. Lifetime, Wishing Stone has won 21 of 69 races and earned $2.23 million, making him the richest offspring of sire Conway Hall. He has won multiple stakes in the U.S., including the 2010 Kentucky Futurity in straight heats at Lexington's Red Mile. "We'll see now how he races," Gulotta said. "He looks good. I think he's gained weight and grown up a little, actually, which may be helpful to him. We're happy."

The colt, which captured the North America Cup on June 21, has won eight of 12 career races and never finished worse than third. The Ron Burke-trainee has earned $913,517 for owner 3 Brothers Stable. He is not the only Meadowlands Pace eligible in the qualifier. He is joined by Jimmy Takter-trained Lyonssomewhere, who was fifth in the North America Cup, as well as Joe Holloway's Always B Miki, Tracy Brainard's Big Boy Dreams, and Ron Coyne Jr.'s National Debt. Lyonssomewhere is No. 4 and Always B Miki is No. 7 in the Meadowlands Pace rankings. Big Boy Dreams, who was second to He's Watching in last year's New York Sire Stakes championship, has not raced in 2014. Eliminations for the Meadowlands Pace will be held July 5 and the $650,000 final is July 12. Elsewhere, Boomboom Ballykeel, who won last year's Metro Pace, is in the first of three divisions of the Ontario Sire Stakes Gold at Mohawk Racetrack on Saturday. Boomboom Ballykeel has one win, which came in the sire stakes in May, in three starts this season. He is trained by Richard Moreau. The second division includes Meadowlands Pace eligibles Bugger Bruiser, trained by Carmen Auciello, and Erv Miller's Jet Airway while the third division has Ian Moore's Play It Again Sam. Three horses eligible to the Meadowlands Pace are competing in the same New York Sire Stakes division Friday at Buffalo Raceway - Patrick Lachance's Sir Sam's Z Tam, Mark Ford's Twin B Speedo, and P.J. Fraley's Ideal Cowboy. * * * In addition to the previously mentioned horses qualifying Friday at the Meadowlands, Bee A Magician, Royalty For Life, Shebestingin, and Cee Bee Yes will be among others in action. Bee A Magician, the 2013 Horse of the Year, is winless in three starts this season and coming off a ninth-place finish in the Armbro Flight Stakes on June 14 at Mohawk. Trainer Nifty Norman told Trot Insider the mare scoped sick following the Armbro Flight and would start next against her male counterparts in the $400,000 Hambletonian Maturity for 4-year-old trotters on July 5 at the Meadowlands. Last year, Bee A Magician's wins included the Hambletonian Oaks. Also being pointed to the Hambletonian Maturity is 2013 Hambletonian winner Royalty For Life. * * Levy Memorial Series champion P H Supercam will look to snap a four-race losing streak in Saturday's open handicap at Yonkers Raceway. The race also includes Heston Blue Chip and last week's winner Digital Z Tam. Ken Weingartner Harness Racing Communications U.S. Trotting Association
The 2013 season was a record-setting season for trainer Carmen Auciello on a personal level, and by the looks of it he's well on his way to smashing his personal records again this season. The Stouffville, Ontario-based horseman has already racked up 97 wins this year, with three of those victories taken during Saturday's 11-race card at Mohawk Racetrack. Mr Big Head, who is now 3-for-3 since being claimed, got the ball rolling for Auciello thanks to his 1:51.3 score in Race 3. Anthony MacDonald mapped out the winning trip for the suddenly-streaking son of Real Desire. That trainer/driver tandem then clicked with Hopiesdragninthedo in Race 10. The Dragon Again homebred was a front-stepping winner in 1:52. To read the rest of the story click here.
Freehold, NJ --- Anndrovette is among a group of five female pacers to win the Roses Are Red Stakes in back-to-back years. With a third victory in the race on Saturday, she would stand alone. A 7-year-old mare, Anndrovette is the 5-2 morning line favorite in Saturday's C$330,000 Roses Are Red Stakes for older female pacers at Mohawk Racetrack. She starts from post four with regular driver Tim Tetrick at the lines for trainer P.J. Fraley. Anndrovette, who won last year's Roses Are Red in a stakes-record 1:48, heads into this season's final off a 1:49.3 triumph in her elimination on June 7. She defeated Summertime Lea by one-quarter length thanks to a :26 burst over the race's last quarter-mile. It was Anndrovette's second consecutive win after posting one victory in her first six starts. For the year, Anndrovette has won three of eight races, including the Betsy Ross Stakes on May 25, and earned $210,637 for owners Bamond Racing and Joseph Davino. She has 38 lifetime victories in 96 starts and $2.79 million. "She's come back around," Tetrick said. "She qualified good (on May 16) and raced super in the Betsy Ross. I don't think she was sharp earlier in the year. She just didn't have her usual attitude. They gave her a little break and something clicked. I could tell in the post parade (of the Betsy Ross) that she was ready to go." Joining Anndrovette on the list of mares to win consecutive Roses Are Red Stakes are Armbro Feather (1988-89), Ellamony (1994-95), Eternal Camnation (2001-02), and Bunny Lake (2003-04). Anndrovette is trying for her record fourth straight Dan Patch Award for best older female pacer. She is one of three three-time honorees, along with Eternal Camnation and Shady Daisy. Somwherovrarainbow, who earlier this year became the fastest female pacer ever on a five-eighths-mile track (1:48 at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs) and won the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series at Yonkers, is the 7-2 second choice in the Roses Are Red. In her Roses Are Red elim, Somwherovrarainbow finished second by a half-length to Yagonnakissmeornot in 1:50.1. Yagonnakissmeornot is the 4-1 third choice. "There are some very good mares in there," Tetrick said. "But (Anndrovette) seems like she's back and charging now. She likes the Canadian air." Following is the Roses Are Red field in post order with drivers, trainers, and morning line: 1. Yagonnakissmeornot, Ron Pierce, Carmen Auciello, 4-1; 2. Shelliscape, Corey Callahan, P.J. Fraley, 12-1; 3. Charisma Hanover, Sylvain Filion, Ron Burke, 10-1; 4. Anndrovette, Tim Tetrick, P.J. Fraley, 5-2; 5. Camille, Brett Miller, Ron Burke, 10-1; 6. Summertime Lea, Scott Zeron, Ron Burke, 8-1; 7. Krispy Apple, Doug McNair, P.J. Fraley, 12-1; 8. Shebestingin, David Miller, Joe Holloway, 8-1; 9. Somwherovrarainbow, Brian Sears, Joe Holloway, 7-2; 10. Rocklamation, Yannick Gingras, Ron Burke, 15-1. by Ken Weingartner, for Harness Racing Communications
The Roses Are Red Series at Mohawk Raceway Saturday saw two classy older pacing mares, Anndrovette and Yagonnakissmeornot win their $35,000 elimination divisions in photo finishes. The first division saw Jerseylicious and driver Ron Pierce leave and park out Shebestingin (David Miller) to the opening quarter mile in :26.2. Meanwhile, Anndrovette and Tim Tetrick got away in third place along the rail as they raced to the half mile in :55.2. It was then that Charisma Hanover (Yannick Gingras) came first-over over with Summertime Lea (Scott Zeron) following the outside flow as the field hit the three-quarters in 1:22.4. Starting down the stretch, Summertime Lea tipped out and looked to collar Shebestingin with Shelliscape (Brian Sears) coming into the picture. All the while weaving with Anndrovette around four horses, Tim Tetrick got the game mare into high gear and she came charging down to the wire to win by a head in 1:49.3 over Summertime Lea and Shelliscape. Shebestingin had faded and finished fourth with Charisma Hanover fifth and making it to the $325,000 final next week. For Anndrovette, the seven-year-old mare by Riverboat King and a three-time Dan Patch award winning older pacing mare of the year, she posted her second straight win and third victory on the year for trainer P J Fraley. She is owned by Bamond Racing of Brick, NJ and Joseph Devitto of Clarksburg, NJ. She paid $3.70 to win as the only favorite in all of the eliminations races to win. "I was following some good mares," said driver Tim Tetrick, "Shebestingin and Jerseylicious and I figured they would carry me and I would have some room in the stretch. When I finally did get some room she really charged home. After her good mile last week she really responds after an effort like that. She likes the Canadian air. She always does well on this track and right now she is tough as nails. When the money is down she always seems to show up." The second division saw an amazing "true grit" grind it out first-over effort from Yagonnakissmeornot and driver Ron Pierce as they were able to wear down pacesetter and race favorite Somwherovrarainbow and driver Brian Sears to win by a neck in 1:50.1. After taking the early lead away from Voelz Hanover (Randy Waples), Sears led the way with Somwherovrarainbow to the quarter in :27.3, the half in :56.3 as Pierce was already on the outside with Yagonnakissmeornot and starting to work their way up to the front. And they did by the three-quarters in 1:24. It was then a two-horse race to the finishing and Yagonnakissmeornot was super game and nipped Somwherovrarainbbow at the wire. Krispy Apple (Tim Tetrick) was third with Camille (Brett Miller) fourth and rounding out the field for the final was fifth place finisher Rocklamation (Yannick Gingras). "We got away badly," Pierce said. "And I was concerned but I figured if I let her have some racetrack she would respond and she did. I raced her before when George Teague had her and I learned a lot about her. After one start I knew just how to race her. I knew this track would help her a lot and that she would just eat it up. She has the speed, everything is there, she's the complete package." A five-year-old mare by The Panderosa, Yagonnakissmeornot is trained by Carmen Auciello and is owned by Allard Racing, Inc. of Yves Sarrain, QC and Kapildeo Singh of NY. Her time of 1:50.1 was a lifetime mark. She paid 416.40 to win. By Steve Wolf, for Harnesslink.com

TORONTO, May 19 - As the 2014 Woodbine winter/spring meet came to a close on Monday evening at Woodbine Racetrack, driver Jody Jamieson and trainer Carmen Auciello proved they are a force to be reckoned with. Jamieson and Auciello took top honours on the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) circuit, finishing atop the 2014 driver and trainer standings. Jamieson, a resident of Moffat, currently has 83 WEG victories this season, 20 more than his closest rival, Chris Christoforou. Jamieson also banked $1.2 million in purse earnings during the meet. Auciello has also separated himself from his rivals in the training standings. The Stouffville resident has 47 victories this season, 16 more than nearest rival, Corey Johnson. Auciello's barn earned over $720,000 during the meet. Racing will resume at Mohawk Racetrack in Campbellville, beginning on Thursday, May 22. First race post is scheduled for 7:25. p.m. Greg Gangle

Like Kathryn Stockett's best-seller on which it is based, The Help wastes no time in ticking off the uncivil wrongs that in some quarters passed for equality at the dawn of the civil-rights era.
For instance, the practice of separate toilet accommodations for blacks, which precipitates the film's action. Some white employers believed that the women who raised their babies, washed their laundry, and prepared their meals would, by sharing the privy, contaminate their families.
It would be easy to regard the movie by Tate Taylor, who adapted the book and directed, as a nostalgic portrait of black dignity in the face of such casual bigotry. Easier still, to dismiss it as the work of a white filmmaker who with one hand slaps himself in the face for the sins of his grandmother and with the other pats himself on the back for his expiation of those sins.
But The Help, set in 1962 Mississippi, is more complex and compassionate and nuanced than that. Like its characters, it has its faults. But overall, it is a movie of imaginative sympathy that gets into the skin of its characters, into their hearts, and, ultimately, into ours.

"Worth buying!"

We were a little concerned about the price but, decided to purchase due to need. But it was a great decision and looks great and works great!View this product
"Skylight Blind"
By Ed from Santa Maria, CA
This blind is great! The only problem I encountered was I installed the mounting brackets backwards. The pictures in the instructions were correct but a cautionary note on them about the mounting direction would have been nice but they still work well. I am quite happy with the blind.View this product

A section of Christian County Route CC between Cheyenne Road and the entrance to Fremont Hills between Ozark and Nixa is scheduled to close this week through early October.
Also, MoDOT says Cheyenne Road at Route CC will be closed at the same time, but Cheyenne Road should reopen by the middle of September.
During the road closings, drivers will have to find alternate routes to get around the closings. Drivers will have access to driveways and other entrances on either side of the closings, but they will not be able to drive through the work area.
MoDOT met with Nixa School District officials, emergency responders and others in the area to discuss details of the closings and ways school and emergency vehicles can get around the construction work.
The work is part of a project to eliminate the curves on Route CC between Cheyenne Road and Fremont Hills and widen the intersection of Route CC and Cheyenne Road.
When the project is complete, left turn lanes will be added to the intersection of Route CC and Cheyenne Road and a traffic signal will be installed.

Daylilies – Zambesi Daylily Nursery
Our first small step was to plant 50 daylily plants way back in 1996. Today that small beginning has flourished and literally bloomed to almost 30 000 plants representing more than 300 varieties. Zambesi Daylily Nursery occupies 1 hectares and has been open to the public for the last 10 years.
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin, yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these."
Daylilies – Zambesi Daylily Nursery Important information for 2015
- In 2014 we decided to start the process of intruducing a 100 new varieties to our catalogue. Unfortunately this is a lengthy process because enough mother stock is needed before a variety can be placed on the market. We very carefully chose which "older" & less popular varieties to discontinue in order for us to make space for the new varieties. We have kept our most popular varieties but were forced to re do our gardens in order for us to stock more plants per variety to keep up with the demand. We will add varieties to our catalogue as they become available.
- Currently all varieties are marked as "sold out" untill February 2016.
- Please subscribe to our newsletter if you would like to be informed of new additions to our catalogue or daylilies that are back in stock.
- Also take note that all daylilies are currently priced at R49. All prices are subject to change in 2016 once the daylilies become available.
- Our website is now more user friendly (view our "how to order" page for ordering information).
- Our banking details have changed. View our new banking details at the bottom of our How to Order page.
- We will no longer make use of the Post Office Speed Courier Service. We are now using a reliable courier service (Fast Way Couriers).

It is full steam ahead at East Kent Railway in Eythorne and Shepherdswell this Easter weekend, with family activities and a special ceremony planned.
Easter Sunday will see the rededication service and unveiling of new name plates for the John Fowler diesel engine (pictured) which once transported coal from Snowdown Colliery.
Volunteer Colin Varrall said: "The locomotive will be involved in performing tricks with eggs being held between its buffers without breaking.
"Brake van rides will be made along the Wigmore Lane extension of the East Kent Railway line carrying passengers," he added.
Over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend there will be other activities organised by East Kent Railway Trust, including seed planting, log pulling in the woods and woodland walks to see bluebells in full bloom.
The railway was built to transport coal, and other goods, across east Kent.
This part of our mining heritage is being remembered thanks to the trust who preserves the line.
Ticket prices this weekend are: adult £6, child £3 and £15 for a family with two adults and two children.
More information with trains timetables can be found on the East Kent Railway Facebook page, Twitter @eastkentrailway or by clicking this link: www.eastkentrailway.co.uk

Thanks! (I said monitor on the headrest for the passenger? I meant overhead console!)
It's still in its infancy though, but I do think I'm going to need two videocards. I hope I can find a mini itx board that works with two video cards simultaneosly. I use a 24" and a 19" monitor in my office, and I'm hoping that the front setup will work like that: if somebody touches one screen, they can change the focus, but everything on the other still works, etc. I wonder if the FE will need to have another copy of itself, I'm thinking yes: one with do the audio/video duties, the other all the other cool stuff we stuff our cars with.
The problem is, when I'm alone, I'll have to use the overhead monitor anyway, and I can't switch to a single one. That's okay though, this is going to be the lesser problem.
The other monitors need no control: just song/title/visualizations/video display, vga would be great, but I can settle for composite. I just want the computer to show song/title on the screen or visualization (if turned on) or video when a video is being played.
That would be so cool.
One FE can do it all...i'll try to get a demo video up by the end of the weekend...should also be available in the next release (also this weekend-i hope).

You can just post some funny pictures.
So can we start picture war thread.
Hahahaha so why isthis post being so active now.
try using cfg loader and try force video to ntsc it should work, and load them with 249
Priloader is safe install it trough paunching priloader app orMMM and cioscorp is very unsafe it can brick.
You can see it by clicking wii button and settings
The best way to load games is usb loading.yes install neogamma and it should read every disc. No its not semi-brick if you can see which system menu are you.
NHL 2K11 is really good and NBA rocks online because of shooting sensitivity.
Try using diffrent loader and difrent IOS . And try using fully formatted wbfs hdd

I think there is favs guide how to do it.
You can set priloader to autoboot without even going to sm
Okay it works.

From our Medical Director:
Managing the changes of the past year has been a huge task. I am so proud of the work our staff has done to maintain our quality standards and expand our impact.
As we transitioned to our new model of providing care to people with health insurance during 2014, many new patients came through our doors. We continue to hear from people who have had nothing but negative experiences when seeking help for their medical needs. As they get to know our staff and providers and feel the love we have for our patients, a quiet but profound change takes place. We see people blossom and make positive changes in their health. When they leave our office to see a specialist or other new provider, they do so with greater confidence. They expect to be treated well and speak up when things don't go smoothly. While this doesn't show up in a data analysis, it is one of our greatest contributions and it's at the heart of who we are as an organization. In 2015 we will redouble our focus on hypertension control and increase our patient population so that we make a real difference in the health disparities that plague our community.
Jill Ginsberg, MD, MPH
Medical Director
We are very proud of our quality outcomes from 2014:
• Services: We provided over 1,000 visits with clincians during daytime appointments and evening walk-in clinics. Daytime patient encounters with non-clinical staff numbered 334 in 2014, a slight increase from 2013. Of these, 94 were encounters with our Community Health Worker (CHW). The total number of client services for the year, including off-site encounters, was 2,103, a 15% increase from 2013.
• BP Checks: Non-clinical staff performed 55 blood pressure checks for community members during daytime hours at the clinic. In addition, they performed 673 blood pressure checks at 28 separate community events off site. This compares with 209 blood pressure checks at 9 events in 2013.
• Chronic Disease Registry: We added 120 new patients to our Chronic Disease Registry in 2014 (68% of the current registry). This is significant because new patients with diabetes or hypretension often have poor control of their chronic illnesses and are behind on recommended preventive medications, laboratory screening and immunizations. These patients have high specialty care needs and require more frequent and complex visits than established patients.
• Health Insurance Enrollment: Access to full spectrum health care requires health insurance, as many essential services are not available for those who are uninsured. In 2014, we reached out to all of our patients to let them know of our health insurance enrollment assistance. 65% of our patients enrolled in OHP, and we assisted over 600 individuals in health insurance enrollment.
• Specialty Care: Coordination of care for specialty consultation requires a significant amount of staff time. The complexity of referral coordination is high for our OHP patients, all of whom have serious medical conditions and many of whom need follow up and subsequent specialty visits. In 2014, we initiated 108 specialty care referrals for patients insured through OHP - more than one referral for every two patients on our Chronic Disease Registry.

It was a welcomed sight to have Nathan Horton skating with his Bruins teammates last week when things moved to Ristuccia Arena.
CSNNE.com's Bruins insider Joe Haggerty reports the latest news regarding the ratification and finalization of the new CBA and the start of training camp for the Bruins.
It was a wholly different situation for Patrice Bergeron in Switzerland.
An NHLBruins resurrection party taking place on Jan. 17 at the Harp. Sounds like it should be a good little hockey love-in for the diehard Bruins fans out there.
