WATCH THE MARBLE
'J'HERE are two mile races at Avondale to-morrow, and the big event on the second day is also started at that post. The barrier there is located right | in the middle of the bend going out of the straight, and for well over a furlong the competitors are on the turn. This makes it essential for a horse with a chance in mile events | to draw a small marble, and those i in the first half dozen out from the | rails will hold a decided advantage | over those further out. Of course it is possible for a ! horse to draw a bad marble and still win, but generally it pays to i shun the one near the outer. Therefore it should pay backers to keep an eye on the draw for positions in all mile races at Avondale.
