two champions met again and Main McElwyn won 

 in 2:023^. 



Main McElwyn and Hanover's Bertha are the fast- 

 est pair of two-year-old trotters that have appeared 

 to date. Their remarkable racing qualities show that 

 the two minute two-year-old trotter is in sight. 

 Another move towards that point was also made 

 at Lexington, the week after the Grand Circuit 

 meeting when Hanover's Bertha in a trip against 

 time reduced the world's record for foals of her age 

 to 2:02. 



Main McElwyn made a remarkable campaign. His 

 first flash was at the second Toledo meeting where 

 he defeated Hanover's Bertha and Pola McElwyn 

 after each of them had won heats, and also trotted 

 a fourth mile in 2:09. Hanover's Bertha defeated 

 him in 2:04i4 at Grand Rapids. From that time he 

 carried everything before him. At Detroit he won 

 from Pola McElwyn in 2:0814, and at Cleveland in 

 2:071/4- Main McElwyn won again at Goshen in 

 2:08%, at Syracuse in 2:05% where Leroy was sec- 

 ond, at Indianapolis in 2:06i4 and at Lexington in 

 2:031/4 and 2:02%. He won nine firsts and one 

 second, Winnipeg being the only horse that won 

 more races in the Grand Circuit in 1929. 



There were four leaders in the three-year-old 

 trots, Walter Dear standing at the top with six vic-

 the year. His most formidable rivals were Volomite, 

 Miss Woerner, and Contender. If there ever was a 

 horse well named the McGregor the Great gelding
