Signal to Racehorse

AUSTRALIAN’S NOVEL TRAINING TDEA. (Received March 31 at 9.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 31. The racing spectators at the Prince of Wales Plate at Leicester were surprised and puzzled towards the end of the race to hear a piercing blast blown on a whistle. One horse in the race the four-year-old Potchim, which is owned by an Australian, Mr Boyd Davis, knew what the whistle meant, for he speeded past the post an easy winner. The “Daily Express” states that the whistle is part of Mr Davis’s training methods. He claims that his horses have learned to expect it, and that they invariably respond.
