NUMBER FIFTEEN
TF there is anything in the saying that the last shall be first, then White Wings should have won her last three races. In the sprint at Avondale she was number 24 in the correct card, and in the Guineas there she was carrying 15 saddle cloth, finishing fourth. Last Saturday she was flying at the finish of the Pakuranga sprint, her number, 15 again, being in the frame over the judge’s box as dead-heating for second. In to-morrow’s classic the Limond filly is once mtore number 15, and the third time may be lucky. To continue the sequence —fourth to half a second—White Wings should be first to-morrow. It is a coincidence, this number business, but it differs from Pthers in that it is pointed out in advance.
