RACING NOTES.
[BY RAPIER.)
In view of my remarks on Handicap- ping and the shortage of jockeys the following extract from the Norik-China Daily News and Herald is not without interest:-
The Jockey Shortage."
The remedy for the jockey shortago has pot yet been found, or if it is known it has not been put into operation. Of the 43 Arsta, 35 were shared by soren jockeys of established reputation, includ ing. C. Encarnacao, who rode exceptional, ly well at his first Shanghai meeting and headed the list of jockeys, though caly by virtue of one second over tiremner. Alone amongst the younger jockeya, moving up to the front-rank. Pote-Hunt showed promise of eventually indeed, there are many who say he is there already. G. T. Bead rode like an old hand in the one race in which he scored,. but he cannot be regarded as a coming jockey, for he is almost certain to put on too much weight, as also will Judah. nounced each season and really is be The shortage of jockeys is more pro- coming serioux The only remedy is for more young men to take lessons, instead of trying to pick it up" and after what the Gordon Road Riding School has donc for Brodie, Pote-Hunt, Botelho and several others it would seem to be worth the while of some more to try.“

Referring again to handicaps, the in- creasing number of which undoubtquly has done much to level up local racing, it does seem a pity that all the three local clubs do not come to an agreement; either that there shall be a fixed minimum and. maximum weight, or else that the highest and lowest weights for each in- dividual handicap shall be announced before the entries close.

was put in at 154 lbs. and amongst those at the other extreme was Ultimus at s lbs. Now, it is as certain na anything can be in racing that if the two had race at those weights, or even if Ultimus had been allowed another 5 lbs, to bring him down to about the lowest weighs at which the better jockeys can ride, Rosebery, it ho had been required to do so, could have won. At the same time, the owner would have been risking serious injury to hia pony by sending him out under; such a tremendous weight, so the allot- zing of it practically meant the elimina- tion of the pony. The good ponics should be given the chance to run and it would; each other under carefully adjusted be far better to see them running against weights than to watch the vain struggles. of a mob of indifferent animals who could not win whatever their allowance.
