RACING SURPRISE
OUTSIDER BEATS FIELD ANOTHER RUNS THIRD LUCKY INVESTOR OF 10s /■ By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright - LONDON, Oct. 26 It is years since 100 to 1 chances have run first and third in an important handicap, but this happened in the Cambridgeshire to-day, when the places were filled by Pullover, Ada Dear and Pharaoh. The bookmakers had the time of-their lives, for scarcely a backer found the winner, (hough one lucky man named two of the horses in a special totalisator pool and received £1773 for an outlay of 10s. Pullover was only entered for the race because a brother and sister ha-d a friendly bet as to whether Pal O'Mine, owned by Sir Edward 'late, or Pullover, owned by his sister, Mrs. C. B. Robinson, was the better at the weights. Apart from this family wager, Mrs. Robinson only bet, £2 on Pullover. The success of her horse smashed thousands of double event wagers on the C'esarewitch and Cambridgeshire.
