to race horses That was many years ago in Ireland and today McComb his wife Audrey and their daughter Susan train and breed thoroughbred race horses at Clanyon Farm R Nerval Besides operating his farm McComb is also an internal tonallyknown steeplechase rider and jockey who has won every major race in Ontario except one And he took second in that 1 was so determined to be a foe key that I ran away from in Belfast when I was 16 McComb said Through sheer luck I was taken on as an apprentice jockey for stables in southern Ireland and won my Tint race on April 1948 That was when was 19 After five years of racing in Ireland McComb became jockey at the famous steeplechase stables of Harry in England Here in a dramatic scene worthy of National Velvet he married Audrey She was Mr Whalemans daughter and had proposed to her twice only to be refused McComb grinned Then during one race 1 was injured and as I lay all busted up on the track Mr and Audrey ran out to me he said She took me in her arms and promised to marry me I accepted of course and to this day lVe never figured out if that blow on the head knocked the sense into me or out of me After 1 1 years of competing as the lightest steeplechase rider ever to race in England McCombj wide reputation brought him to the stables of H New in Ontario In Riding for Stables and as a freelance rider has raced and won championships all over Canada and the US Canadian racing has been good to me ho said IVe loved every minute of it but racing is incredible hard work and with the high stakes and danger involved the tension is great That there is danger involved can be seen from the few bumps that has received In addition to countless sprains and stitches he has had two broken ankles 11 concussions many crushed ribs and had his stomach removed repaired and replaced he said And of course I got married But the rewards aside from financial are large he said One of my proudest moments of my life was when 1 was presented to the Queen Mother when she was herein 1965 There are presently some thoroughbreds in McComb stables worth a total of about This may sound like a lot until you consider that we sometimes get one horse here worth or more he said And I have ridden single horses valued at moie than alone But there are more than horses at Clanyon named after a famous racer that he rode in Ireland Dogs cats pigeons goals and rabbits inhabit the farm and most of them belong Susan who also has a thoroughbred and two ponies of her own McComb also owns several head of Hereford cattle to keep the grass better for the horses grazing Plus its sort of a hobby As for racing McComb is only semiretired from riding I plan to do it now and then for as long as I possibly can he said once you get racing in your blood you cant get it out 10 I 14 Kitchener Acton 8 THE HARRY ADAMS will provide memorable educational halfday and full day trips on Lake Ontario for this summer longer than the original and will
