Wonder race - Horse Racing

[Mal Cochrane]

Did anyone see the outcome of this "Wonder race" put together by the telegraph.

In the end it is a bit of fun, particularly leading into it, however they totally botched the race,

Phar Lap 4 to 7 wide the whole race, Winx winning to appease the current hype for his final run, despite missing the start by 2 lengths, Sunline fading way too early, Lonhro and octagonal the last 2 in, Kingston Town racing upside down over that distance etc..

Thanks for the reminder Mal.
I'll check it out at home. Carbine, 65.5kg back in 1890.
That's some weight to be considered...
