At the meeting on November 28th, it is quite possible that Saligia, Grey Morn and Chicago may make an attempt to lower bis colours in the race for the Autumn Champions (1 miles). It will bé no easy task.
At times on Baturday, the crowds watching the football games got out of hand, disobeyed the orders of the police and crossed the grass track during a race. Fortunately, no accident happened, but at future meetings stricter precautions will have to be taken...
The result of the Shek Handicap Bclass, in which Grey Streak won by half a length from Nuggets with Two Paire a head away, is a distinct feather in the cap of the adjuster of weights, bat had Saracen accepted and shown his true form, there would probably have been a very different result, judging from the poor time returned.
