Is it possible that you can win every race but not win the averages?...................

i remember winning our first five ave race s couple years back with having two firsts and the other fanciers having three , he thought he had won the ave , he was the same frame of mind thinking you added the ave together then divided the ave by the amont of races , we beat him bye a couple of yards and there WAS a couple off slow races

MR SMITH HAS 4 FIRSTS AND DOESN'T WIN THE AVERAGES. ;D Vic.These 0s were missing from original.The totals read 10560000 and 10982400 where they should read 105600000 and 109824000

As a past secretary trying to explain to fanciers who were convinced they have won certain averages when they have never been beaten can and was most trying to the point of frustration on both parties. In the sequence of races you could have taken races 200mls and 300mls as an example where Smith won both but Jones won the best average. The explanation is in the slowest race flown where the faster time is combined to the slowest.

[just ask me]

Great read

True Tony. Read it with interest a few years back now.
