He conâ€" trolled the pace, going the half in a leisurely 1: 05: McAdorey turned in a good performance in the second half of the mile as well, fending off the challenges of Kawartha Perry and Sharonwood Star to win by half a length. Elmira‘s general manager Rod Seiling said there is a possibility of enough entries for two divisions this week. Monday will be Elmira‘s "race against MS" night to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Seiling is the national coâ€"ofrdinator for the race against MS. With McAdorey clinging to the lead, it looked as though Sharonwood Star, driven by Ross Battin, was getting the perfect trip in second. But the crafty MacKay was careful to keep his charge on the rail in the homestretch, forcing Sharonwood Star to settle for second place. Kawartha Perry finished third, beaten by a length and a half. ‘"‘He‘s a bit green but he‘s going to turn into a pretty good race horse", MacKay said in praise of his colt. Swift Report was scratched later in the day by his trainer Ken Kavanagh, after a reported loading mishap. Swift Report is also expected to make Friday‘s second leg. The two preâ€"race favorites, Wilivan David and Swift Report were scratched, turning the contest into a wide open affair. An extra field of relatively unproven threeâ€" yearâ€"olds is hardly a bettors dream, but it should produce some exciting finishes to an already very competitive stake series. McAdorey will be a definite starter in this Friday‘s second leg of the stake at Elmira. The top eight money winners in the first two legs will qualify for the final, scheduled for June 26. Willvan David, trained and driven by Robert Walker, came up a bit sore on Friday morning. Walker, confident of qualifying for the final by racing only this Friday, gave his horse the weekâ€"end off. PAGE 20 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY , JUNE 10, 1981 ‘"He‘s kind of a lazy horse, but when that horse (Kawartha Perry) came along side him, he seemed to like it, sort of like a prompter," explained MacKay about the way McAdorey picked up the pace, finishing the mile in 2: 07 3â€"5. The win was the third in 13 starts this year for McAdorey pushing his lifetime earnings to ELMIRA â€" A horse usually winds up doing most of the work, but there is always something to be said about the benefits of a smart driver. In winning the first leg of the Molson Cup Stakes for threeâ€"yearâ€"o‘ds at Elmira Raceway last Friday night, McA dorey responded well to the wise driving tactics of Dundas horseman Neil MacKay. "I‘ve never tried to cut a mile with him before, but he went pretty well on the lead," MacKay said after the victory.
