Measured by Money The success of a meeting is too frequently measured by money and not by the quality of the sport provided. Fields were on the small side in some cases at Forbury Park last week, and hence did not create an incentive to bet.

Improvements Some of the winners at Forbury Park stepped well inside their handicap marks. The following shows handicaps and improvements:—
