uddenly, but not surprisingly, it’s a three-way race at the front of the STim Hortons Brier preliminary round robin at the John Labatt Centre. The front-running favourites — Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario — headed into Wednesday’s penultimate round of draws with identical 6-and-1 records. The leaders were one game up on New- foundland/Labrador (5-2) while Saskatch- ewan (4-3) remained two games in arrears. Ontario’s Glenn Howard, who is ac- customed to reeling off winning streaks at Briers, won his sixth straight on Tuesday night, calling a halt to Manitoba’s six-game unbeaten skein with a methodical 7-4 con- quest of the Winnipeg team skipped by Jeff Stoughton. Howard stole two points in the fourth end for a 4-zip advantage that was never threat- ened when the 47-year-old Stoughton twice wrecked on guards with his shots. Howard had opened with a deuce the end previously after blanking the first two. “That was pretty costly,” admitted the Manitoba skipper afterward. “You missed by a quarter-inch-to-an-inch twice like that and it’s going to cost you. Manitoba s Jeff Stoughton fell from the ranks of the undefeated creating a three-way race for top spot. Those were two big points. Four down was strange.” B.C. 6-4 and Adams rebounded maybe three and the game’s over,” said really tough.
