Behind the Gate

What did Cecil enjoy the most about his participation in harness racing? In the opinion of Brian and his brother Mark. Cecil really loved the horses and he enjoyed the comradeship of the people he met at the track. Cecil was a com—

petitor and he enjoyed the competitive spirit involved in a horse race.

At the time of his passing on July 19, 2005, Cecil was an active and productive member of the executive of Harness Racing PEI. The industry and sport lost a

valuable asset. A. Cecil Ladner was a

positive and amicable gentleman. He will be missed but not forgotten. The Cecil Ladner Memorial Series is an open event for aged horses, geldings and mares, four years and older. It is an annual event raced in june at the Charlottetown Driving Park Entertain— ment Centre. After nominations, it fea- tures eliminations, consolation and final for $3,000 added. Huge Success, Dzmacbton Gale and Astronomical were the first three winners of the A. Cecil Ladner Memorial. Hopefully. there will be many more.
