Here ore two lists strikingly illustrative of the uncertainties of racing. One is a list of the horses which won five or more races in 1918. the other a list ofthc horses which won one-third of their races, bqt did not run often. Both are alphabetically arranged so that anyone interested in knowing what ; particular horse may have done lias only to seek its initial letter to find its condensed record at a glance. One interesting figure in the second list is Last Coin, which, after a season of stud service In the spring, was put into training and, by winning the two races in which he was started, maintained his record of being an undefeated race horse and still a fast one. Careful consideration of the first list will show that few of the successful hones "win fifty per cent of their races. Those which reached that high mark were He Prank. Billy Kelly, Bradleys Choice.
