A MAGNET
IFHY AUSTRALIA IS POPULAR
Since 'arriving in Australia with his big jteam .of racehorses, Trainer J. T. JamieBonbas brought off tlrree.wins by the aid of In the.Shade, King -March, and Sargon. All three were strongly supported in the betting ring, particularly in the case of King March, whose success cost the '--'ring" some thousands. .Unlike New Zealand, Australia possesses a large numher of. professional bettors! who are prepered to risk hundreds, and even thousands of pounds, if convinced that their information about the horse is right. This fa'a feature of Australian racing that appeals'to trainers especially, as in many cases ownera are non-bettors, and if a *coup" i_ brought off, as has been the ease with many horses taken across from jSTew Zealand, then the trainer sometimes jbenefits considerably.
