RESULTS AT THIRD EXTRA MEETING
GOOD DIVIDENDS
dividend ander No winner evens and the division of the nine first places equally among three jockeys were the outstanding fea- fures of a very interesting day of races at Happy Valley on Satur- day when the Hong Kong Jockey Club held its third extra meeting of the season.
What the pari-mutuel did, or, rather, what punters made it do, must surely constitute a record.
