Fifth Extra Race Meeting of Hong Kong Jockey Club, to be held at the Valley to-morrow, is the penultimate meeting of the first half of the sea- son. After that a two-day meeting towards the end of the month will mark the close of racing until September. Ten events are down for decision to-morrow, and entries being satisfactory, racing fans should be provided with some excellent sport. The dry weather of the past few days has made for a hard track, and fast times should be recorded. The main event is the Beus River Paddocks Hoodieap which will be contested over the Derby distance by Australion
