The system of racing is nearlyall handicaps and train- ed handicappers are permanently mvlvyed w study the form of horses so that the public will get a square deal. , _ Horses do not score as we know it. They have their marks set gut “mcll they are to get away from and iii case of a false start each driver at a signal turns his horse brick of his mark. brings him {\- round ‘in unison and lines up to the mark. then if all is ready the filflrlers flag is dropped and they are away. Horses must good- lieaded but of course they are not so inclined to be actors as under our system of racing where they are trained to get away like bul- lets from a flying start. It would a difficult problem to make over a horse that has been raced under oilr system for any length of time and convert him into a handicap horse. Hfllldicfl/D racing is used in Italy. Austria. Germany. France. Belgium Denmark Norway and Sweden and is very interesting to ivatch. par- ticularly when the handicapper makes a. good job of it.
