Bouquet for Juliette
I hope you will not be disappointed if I say that it is my habit to turn first tO the column written by your lady racing correspondent. How encouraging when I saw that she had selected Rheingold, a horse I part-own, to win the world's richest race, the Prix de Arc de Triomphe, which he duly did
the following Sunday at odds of nearly 8-1.
Your weekly contemporary, Horse and Hound, for example, which the casual observer might consider more learned in these Matters, managed to stun up the race in a two page article as being between three horses, of which the main two did not finish in the first eighteen and the third was eighth. Fortunately, Juliette brought a little more logic to bear on the problem, and in so doing was alone amongst all English racing correspondents.
