HARNESS RACING RAH Harness pony racing continues on Sunday at Vesey Street with 16 races starting at 1 p.m.

There will be three or four ponies in each race and since Eddie The Great has moved up into the top time bar the free-for-all has been tremendously exciting. On New Year's Day Nateway, the track record-holder, started the race in the fourth hole but managed to pass everyone and win -- just.

However, Eddie The Great and Catch A Fire have a lot of potential and are also three years younger than Nateway.

Quite a few of ponies are on winning streaks at the moment; J.B.'s T.W. Bell with Fernando Rego, Bermuda Warrior with Murray Terceira, Sandtrap with John Flood and Meadow Rose with Francis DeSilva.

However, the faster times they get the more they are handicapped by being placed in positions on the rail. The slowest pony in the bar gains the advantage of starting on the rail. On the Vesey Street track this is a huge advantage.

SOFTBALL SOF Business Systems Ltd. beat Advertising Associates 30-15 in a high-scoring `D' Division match on Tuesday at Bernard Park as Graham Pearson led the winners with two-for-three and Richard Miller went three-for-five.

The second match of the night saw Centre Re beat PTB 15-6 with Scott Roberts having a perfect three-for-three for the winners and Randy Brangman hitting two home runs in his two-for-four in a losing cause.

Runs also flowed in the final match of the night as Butterfield & Steinhoff beat Alexander Insurance 25-15 with Trevor Brooks and Darren Budd both going four-for-five for the winners and John Hately and Roddy Gray three-for-four for the losers.
