FAVOURITES IN RAILWAY
The A.R.C. Railway Handicap has not been an easy race for the favourites. In the 20 contests since the conclusion of the war the actual favourite has been successful only three times, these winners having been Stretto (last year). Silver Streak (1933)., and Awarere (1927). Awarere was favourite only because he was bracketed with Aussie Ra, otherwise he would have been a big outsider.
Surprise results have featured this big sprint. Two years ago Adalene was twelfth favourite, and so was Royal Blood in 1922. In 1924 the winner, Master Doon, was fifteenth selection. Hunting Cry, at his first win. was tenth favourite, and Supremacy and Parody were eighth favourites to score.
