WORKING IN RETROSPECT
What (i huge treble price could hav.e boon obtained by backing the winners of the three main races at the recent C..T.C. Grand National Meeting is pointed out in a letter from a correspondent. The correspondent has worked out that £1 invested on Thurina, all up Mount Boa, all up Hounslow, -would have returned something over £4200. According to the letter this should bless the heart even of a first-prize winner in one of the current art unions. Probably it -would. The correspondent, however, has overlooked one point, and that is that the Thm-ina-Mount Boa all-up, amounting to roughly £450, would have cut Hounsloir's dividend in the Hurdles to an approximate quarter of the price actually paid (other things, of. course, being regarded as equal), so. that the treble-price strictly would have.then been only just over £1000. Still, that' would, have been quite, acceptable.
