A STRANGE DOUBLE
Many strange doubles will be laid on the two Cups. Caulfield and Melbourne, during the next few months, says an Australian writer. Here is 'an example: A well-known Melbourne tailor and a bookmaker were discussing the possibility of war and the upshot of a friendly argument was the fielder laying his tailor this double of £200 to £2—A^a.. in the Melbourne Cup and "no war" by the first week in November.
Three favourites have won the Grand National Hurdles since 1915, Sleight, of Hand (1917), Kauri King (1918), and Wharncliffe (1927).
