the advantage of the start that he is given
over the Scratch men. The latter are
supposed 10 De the best runners in their
respective classes, and in order to insure g
good race it is necessary to handicap them
in this manner.
The scratch r5ces are those in which
no handiceps are given.
IN the hurdle races the handicap oper-
ates differently from the other races. The
scratch" man, instead of starting from the
mark. is penalized certain number OF
yards-that is, ne is set back from the
starting mark. Consequently man who
is penalizad twelve yards in 120 yard race
really has TO run 132 yards.
