Cloyse Mothersell, Yates County's youngest sulky race driver, purchased twin two-year olds at a sale of race horses at Harrisburg a few days ago.
Both
colts are pacers and are named Victory Jack and Victory Jill. As soon as the horses were transferred to him, Cloyse,
who is 17,
immediately made out papers giving Victory Jack to his younger brother, Lawrence, who is 11 years old. The brothers will break and train the
colts and expect to race them next summer. The boys are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Mothersell
of Rushville.
Cloyse has been driving in races for the past three years, ever since he was 14, and has already made a favorable name for himself on local race
tracks. Preferring pacers to trotters, Cloyse has a stable of four pacers besides
the twins he just purchased. Oldest of these and most familiar to racing fans of this area is Hi
Mazie,
older pacer who used her experience in acquainting her youthful driver with the tricks of the county fair circuit tracks. Together, they have won a
fair amount of the prize money awarded for heats in Mazie's class.
Cloyse also owns Sergeant Frank and Sunday's Heir, and another colt which has never been raced, Stewart's Lady.
With envious eyes on his brother's record, Lawrence is following just as fast as he can and he and Victory Jack will start training together.
