40 years ago I was taking Frank Browne, a top Aussie bloke, and
a journalist for the Sydney Daily Mirror home to Avalon he was P..... as a Parrot but could still chat.
He was telling me stories about a bunch of young lawyers he called,'The Legal Eagles'.

Years later I was reading Don Scott's early book and he referred to Frank
having written a piece in the Mirror after being astounded by....

"A unique system - I have heard many theories of how to win big money on
horses, but this is unique.

You single out a nine year old gelding.Not any nine-year old gelding,
but one who has never won a race in the Metrop. area.

Then provided that his last win was 15 months ago,at the Bong Bong Picnic Races,you are on the right track.

However, there is a vast ammount of work between you and the pelf.
His form must survive the test laid down in the long ago, by one
Pittsburgh Phil.
Between that win he must put together the following form.

Eighth, 11 months later, at Randwick over 10 furlongs.
Fourth in a field of five at Kembla.
Then he must return to Bong Bong and run third in a race for amateur riders.

Then,another eighth at Randwick after being seventh on the home turn,
over 10 furlongs.
Seventh at Canterbury passing three horses from the top of the straight.

Finally, he must have raced in a mile and a half at Randwick, settled down last to be eighth on the home turn, passed three horses and run a distant fifth.

You are now ready to break the Books.

You then wait until he is entered at Canterbury in a nine and a half furlong
novice,and you go in with your ears back.

You say nothing to anybody, not even his trainer,and above all you take no notice of the fact that this animal is quoted by the Bookies at 50/1, and that most of the said bookies have forgotten more about racing than you have learned, and have the assets to prove it.

You simply put more on, and back the horse into 15/1, simply because on the form revealed, you have tested him and he qualifies according to the late
Pittsburgh Phil.

This is not my theory. It is the theory expounded by the acknowledged
leader of a trio of young gentlemen known as the Legal Eagles, who are
currently becoming quite famous as well-informed plungers."
