nounced that the Twin d u b e
would be used throughout t h e
coming harness racing meeting
which opens here July 6.
The Twin Double was offered at
the recently concluded Rosecroft

and three pay-offs amounted to

Briefly. the Twin Double works
as follows: The bettor makes a
selection trying to pick the win
ner of the sixth and seventh races,
just as though he were selecting
a daily double. If, after the 7th
race, he selected the two winning
horses, he turns in the successful
ticket and makes another pair of
selections for the eighth and ninth
races and that's where the big
payoff is apt to come.
