FORM PLAYING AND LUNCHES.
Heaven alone knows what system is used
by some bettors' in playing races. Some. of
course, follow form very carefully. They
know just what certain horses can do at
certain distances, at certain weights. on
certain kinds of track, ridden by certain
boys, owned by certain men, and so on, ad
in finitum. They are posted on what these
horses have done for weeks past and keep
an accurate record of performances. Form
is pretty good thing to stick to because
it is the basis of all betting Ii is the foun-
dalton on which the mathematical chances
of horse race are built. The Handicapped
goes by ii largely, and the bookmakers are
controlled by it in making their prices.
