The bidding for selling plate winners has often surprised even the most hardened regular racegoer. The general public cannot hope to fathom the whys and, wherefores of some horses making good prices, after winning this type of race while for others there is no bid ut all.

BRITISH PROS GET AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX WHENEVER THEY MEET AMERICANS
