WINTER CUP STATISTICS
GOOD RACE FOL “OUTSIDERS.” . The Winter Cup has always been a hard race for favourites, lightweights trouncing more heavily-weighted wellfancied horses in most years. In 1915, after a break of seven years, the New Zealand Turf Register ' recommenced publishing figures giving an indication of the positions of the various horses in the betting market, and from these figures it is gleaned that since then only one first favourite has won the cup, and even then it must be admitted that the first horse (Le .Choucas) was bracketed with another, Nippy, who ran third. Second favourites have won on two occasions, but the majority of winners havo returned double-figure dividends, while half-century prices have obtained on more than one occasion. The table of winners, and their order of favouritism, reads as follows; — 1915. —Banksia (2), 1916. —Cherry Blossom (4). 1917. King Star (25). 1918. —Bedford (9), 1919. —Gaelque (9). 1920. —Killowen (12), 1921. —Clean Sweep (4). 1922. —Bon Spec (15). 1923. —Sunny Loch (7). 1924.
