WAS plainly illustrated at tho last
Cranwood meeting on a day that VAL
ley Day. one OF the worst acting
horses there is at the post. was an
entrant.
Valley Day. much TO the surprise
OF every one. came from rear po-
sItion and won the FIRST heat handily.
That gave him the pole for the next
heat. but Valley had swell time
getting away with any advantage
because OF his pole place.
Valley sometimes will not come
along with his Held at all. but just
stand still while his competitors PAST
him. or ne will refuse to turn or
he Will refuse to 30 past the stand
on a pace.
Maybe the other drivers In that
race at Cranwood didn't know It.
> what? Maybe koehler doesn't know
he's Mayor. Every timo Valley
would come down on q. pace. some
other horse would be so far back or
so far ahead OF Valley that Starter
Williams couldn't, in justice TO the
fans. send the horses away. Fret
qucntly. some driver would fail to
have his horse turned when all the
others set sail.
Some OF these times Valley Day
would score and sometimes he
wouldn't. but each time he had a
chance TO get away good. somebody
was sure that he wouldn't be given
the word. The horses were finally
sent away and Valley Day. because
he had the most speed. won. but
he didn't win because other drivers
did anything to help him.
II drivers would help each other
there wouldn't be nearly as many
scores but they won't do that until
such time barrier OF some kind Is
invented that will force all horses to
wheel behind II and until such time
AZ starters and Judges are given tho
authority that Will enable them to
severely punish drivers for jockeying
and make their sentences stand.
1t Is easy to see the drivers angle.
One can say you can hardly blame
him for trying to get his horse away
first. but the point is that there VIII
be mighty little money In driving
race horses when tho public gets
tired OF seeing unnecessary scores.
Races are held for the public, not
for the drivers. The owners get tho
purses. Il is true. and the drivers
are acting for the owners, but the
Nlblic gets the worst OF It generally,
and they pay the purses.

average expectancy Of three tri ks.
An original hid by fourth hand
shows the probability OF at least six
tricks. so that II should follow that
his partner could support his bid
with but two tricks. or one less
than the average expectancy. Such.
however. Is not the case, Expert
cnce has shown that II partner holds
less than the average three tricks.
the hand of the original bidder will
not produce the estimated number
OF tricks.
In other words, the average eX-
pectancy OF three tricks In partners
hand Is always an integral part Of
every original bid and partner
should never support an original bid
OF one when holding less than three
tricks. no matter whether the bid
was made by first. second. third. or
fourth hands.
1t should be noted that the tricks
required In the supporting hand are
offensive and not defensive values.
II is "A notable fact that the support
Ing or offensive value OF hand is
on the average just double It's quick
trick strength. Therefore. IL the
dealer makes a bid OF one Heart
second band bids one Spade, third
hand must pass II ne only holds one
and one-half quick tricks II. how
ever. he holds two quIck tricks. he
should bid two Hearts. This point
VIII be covered more In detail under
next article. Lids in Support OF a
Suit Bid. What should be noted at
this point Is that the supporting value
OF hand is approximately double
It's quick trick values. That is. TWO
quick tricks arc worth four tricks
as an integral part OF partners orig.
inal bid.
This Is one of the most Important
points OF Auction Bridge. that has
been cleared up In recent years. II
clarifies In most satisfactory, way
the difficult question OF when to sup
port and when not to support, mart
ner's bid. This question naturally
groups itself into two parts. sup.
porting bids of an original No Trump
bid. and supporting bids OF an orig
tnai suit bid. These. points. Will be
covered In the next two articles.
