Leading Race-Winning Driver Over Ohio and Pa. Tracks in 1919. To be the leading race-winning driver over the half-mile tracks of Ohio and Pennsylvania is in itself quite a distinctive honor, as the public at large know full well that throughout the betting belt of these two great states the various events are bitterly contested and the fields average large and sparkling with high class material and lainge amounts of money, as a rule depend upon the contests. During the past the honor of winning the greatest number of races in this locality went to Charley Moorhead by a safe margin, but no one who followed the reports published in the various papers was surprised at the final summing up which gave that distinction to the clever young reins- man of Indiana, as his name appeared with marked regularity in the was talking to a neighbor whon the floor ex- concerning their duties, W.

When notes from various training quarters made their appearance last spring, mention of the stable of Moorhead attracted but little attention, as it did not seem to contain a single trotter or pacer capable of standing the acid test tin a real engagement, yet before activities were far advanced it very evident that the tall, quiet young man had worked wonders with the Supposedly worn-out horses which had been secured at bargain-counter prices. As the season progressed, his charges continued to win with a regularity actually painful to his competitors, and when the year closed a resume of his campaign showed that he had participated in 60 races, was victorious in 31 and secured a portion of the money in most of his other starts, Even at first glance, his success would naturally appear as extraordinary, particularly when the course of his campaign was looked into, but one cannot fully appreciate his accomplish ments and pay him proper credit for his ability as a conditioner and driver until he looks over the material with which he accomplished such startling results. Naturally, the foremost performer in his string was Helen Stiles 2:06 1-4, a Grand Circuit star back in 1912, then seven years old, and retired immediately afterward to the breeding ranks.

After a rest of five years, she was again put in training, winning three raices over Indiana tracks, and last December Charley Moorhead purchased her at auction for $390. Just what he did witih her is a question which 'agitated the minds of many, but results demonstrated that he had indeed worked wonders with the 14- year-old daughter of Dillon, which back in 1912 raced "in-and-out" to such degree as to cause considerable criticism to be leveled at Billy Durfee. In 1919 she seemed ready and willing at all times to do everything asked of her, won nine races and perhaps could have won several others, and, in addition, placed the season's record for trotting mares over a half-mile track at 2:09 at York, and established new track records at other points as well. At the close of her remarkable campaign, she was in even better flesh than at the opening, was sound as a bell, and her chances for another successful year aippear exceedingly bright. Another star in the stable was the jfast, good-headed and persevering little gelding, Louis 2 11 3-4, by (Continued on page 4.) Markets.
