THE WINNING NUMBER
WOMEN race-goers especially are generally looking forward to something in the nature of a coincidence or a favourite colour to give them an excuse to back their fancy, no matter if it has a chance or not. They “just like the horse” and must accordingly have their half-crown on while “hubby’’ puts in the odd 17/6 to make up the ticket. The game is so simple—for the woman in the case. One could do worse than back a certain number throughout. For instance, should anyone have a fancy for the topweights on Saturday it is quite probable that a profit will be shown. The following horses will carry number one saddle cloth on Saturday—Star Stranger Joy King bracke.., Mask, Auriculas,' Wedding March, Freehold, Prince R 4 Lu «y Rose and Modest Boy. No less than four out of thes*» eight are recent winners, so that those who stick religiously to number one will at least be following form.
