have some fun. Figuring past per
formances, Murray should be the fav
orite for he has one victory to his
credit while Chanin has never even
been placed in a race. And there is
no chance to figure the match on
form, as Murray is training on the

and there will probably be much
jockeying. Chanin has the most
speed, but he is the spill champion.
If he is able to remain on his wheel
he will easily win the race.
