Whitsun Race Meeting:
CHAMPION STAKES WILL
BE
TODAY'S MAIN
EVENT AT THE VALLEY
By "RAPIER"
The Hongkong Jockey Club's Whitsun Race Meeting will be con- tinued today at the Valley and, with the weather remaining fine at the moment, there are indications that the last day of the first half of the racing season will again draw a large holiday crowd of racing fans.
The Champion Stakes will form the main attraction in a programme of twelve events and keen racing should be the order of the day.
The first saddling bell will be rung at 11.30 a.m., with the first race start- Ing at noon. The tifin interval will follow the running of the fourth race,, and the first bell after tiffin will be rung at 2.30 p.m.
Here are my estimates the chances:
