List Of 12 Horses Worth Following
Says JAMES PARK
Nobody knows better than I do the element of luck which enters into a list of Horses to Follow. I regard it more or less as a popular pastime which can give the occasional backer a small interest which will inst him throughout the season. There is always the chance of a big dividend now and again.
When that happens I shall probably be chided for not tipping the winner. My opinion on such races' will be based on recent form and no doubt the "one to follow would not fit the bill at that time.

I can vouch for the well- being of them all, at least so far as the present is concerned, I have compiled the list on a grading scale of class and dis- tance to reduce the chance of them clashing.
