A commentary on the Lincolnshire
Handicap by R. C. Lyle at the Grand Stand
Richard North and J. Lawson Topham (race-reader) approximately at the Four-Furlong Post from the Carholme, Lincoln
No big race is more eagerly looked forward to than the Lincolnshire Handicap. It marks the start of another season ; the whispered tip may win or disappoint, and in the next few weeks last year's form will be turned inside out in the glorious uncertainty of the game.
The ' Lincoln ', one of the most open of races, is run over the straight mile on the Carholme, and those who have been lucky enough to ' pick the first leg of the double ' will feel very happy when the Grand National comes along in two daye' time.
