That's a tidy little profit and the dear, old public, as usual, assumes the goat role. Oh. yes. on ome few Occasions the 'layers. have been hit byt those, happenings are rare. iroraaa Poorlv Matched. The "layers" are getting richer and the public poorer simply because of the uneven matching of horses in most .of the races that have been run at the Jamaica, Belmont and Acque duct tracks. Post time usually finds Ofle class horse In a field of dubs: ono real horse who is so far superior to Li. i i ik . V, .- n l- littlA 1 1 r nn turn i . . . n ..i.t.. . ' comparison. Therefore, the 'layers'1 make that horse an oilils-on favorite aiui usuany lay only ainall odds against the next three or four good ones, in one race recently, with 13 horses entered, the favorite was a 1 to Z shot. Hareiy. ill any race, is the favorite quoted at better than even money. Just a short time ago eight horses went to the post and the class horse was a 1 to 7 hi- OUUs-on of 1 to -. 1 to 3. and !l,to 5 have become so frequent thai .they no longer excite comment. j ' Two Bacea Show Cleaning. An instance of how the "layers" are cleaning up Is shown in the results Of two recent races: ...'Eight horses were entered in one field, with the favorite quoted at 1 to 3. The favorite In that race wad beaten by a 4 to 1 phot. In a race ahortly following a. 1 to 4 favorite null. "How did yon break on those races?" was asked a "layer." "Very well, thank you." he smiled. j -we re aifc- resking ahead these days long as the track officials permit a. Class horse to race against a field of truckers. No matter which horse winn It tna favorite wins, we. of course, Jose what was laid on him. But our clean-up On the bets on the other norses mat were nenten exceeds our 1 a - U . l . . ,"t layer Smiles And Explain. ."When a long shot wins we very rarely get a beating. There are so many comparatively long shots in a race vwhere the favorite Is odds-on that the public doesn't go to anyone very strongly. It splits its bets or. tne field 1 hprfnr mir , a long snot wins, usually is less than our profit on the' other horses. rThe layer" .paused, did a bit of penciling on his pad and then sud tnltted the figures to us. ''Now take the last two races," he aid. (He had reference to the races we spoke about Just above) "A total ot 13100 wan bet with me on that first rice. I1S00 of it was at l to a thaf tha fnvnrtt wmil ( 'i-v, n. ; . . lost. Therefor. I won that $1500 and alao 11100 which was bet on the othni horses that lost. The balance $500 ,waa iaia on tne norse that won. I quoted 6 to 2 against that steed, which means that I had to pay back $1250. plna the $500 that was bet on tho Winner.

Ifs pretty soft for us these daya pretty soft, indeed." The "goats" feel that the truck r. , flclala are responsible for the beat- A - j vlvba,ik. t i .1 Lnmr iiioi ins uneven matcning or nurses in most or the races gives them HO chance to beat the "layers." If ; the odds-on favorite wins, so do the layer If the odds-oner loses, the 'layer wins anyhow. With him It is a case, of heads he wins and tails the other fellow loses. Xorses Should Be Matched, ""The races ought to be more evenly Watched," walled one Individual who : has tried and tried and tried to. . beat the layers and failed. "Trfe stunt of running one wonderful horse against a bunch of dubs is a farce. Naturally, the bulk of. people will wager on the favorite. But even If they win four times out of six, they "nun me day behind - the game be cause their losses in two races. whn betting on the odds-on horses, are far byond their profits In" the other four races. Tor Instance, suppose you bet $10 on the favorite in all six races, with the average bet 1 to 4. If you win four races and lose two. von fini.h $10 to the bad for the day. jSThere' the percentage for anyone but the layers c ;: U. of W. Coach at Harvard.
