ELIOT BAY WINS
SUCCESSFUL THIRD DAY'S RACING.
EVE STABLES SUCCESS.
CHAMPIONS.
MR. POTE HUNT RIDES FIVE WINNERS.
[BY RAPIER.]
ག
That the public are getting what they want is evidenced by the continued large attendance at Happy Valley. Fields on a big scale are the magnet and as soon as they drop below reasonable propor tions there will be a corresponding falling off in the public's support. Interest in the third day's racing was well maintained and the dividents and cash sweeps left little to be desired.
His Excellency The Governor and Lady Clementi were present also a large number of other prominent people.
|י
The Champions was won in record time by Elies Bay and the Dunbar stable also annexed the Ladies' Furse. At the timin interead. Mr. Maitland, the winning jockey, received the purse from Miss Luard in the Grand Stand and she was subsequently taken în tifin by him.
- *
MF. Maitland is to be congratulated upon having such a successful meoting. It is all the same to him whether be is win- ning or losing and in this respect the jackeys at the meeting have come out with fying colours Everything has gone very smoothly and so long as our visitors are of the same type as those now with us they will always be warmly welcomed.
Mr. Pete Hunt had a day out riding five wieners including two rather unexpected victories on subscription griffing.
Those who followed my tips would have made money as where
I failed to pick out the winner 1. gave places which were quite "remunerative.
And onda three excellent day' racing, and those who were, responsible for the arrangements have every reason to be satisfied with the result of their labours.
#
All the Shanghai jockeys are, I understand, staying with us. for the Off Day so there is another enjoyable day's sport to look forward to.
THE RACING.
Oki friends in Starter and San Diego secured the first race as expected. U. Un II. rather unex- pectedly displaced Brigade Call for pend plice..
The Grand Stand Stakes started off Mr. Pote Hunt in a winning mood. He rode a nice race on Boxing Eve which had previously disappointed badly. I tipped this pony for a place and regard it
the best pony in the Eve stable when he is really fit
air. Maitland won the Ladies' I'urso for the Dunbar stable with Air. Charles second on San Fran- cisco Bay. There was a ding dong struggle between these ponies down the straight but at the distance post a boring and bumping match commenced which rather sport the race Both these ponies appeared In my sections.
Mr. Ho Kom Tony got a much delayed victory with tasonic Hal in The Hong Kong Stakes (Wong up). Supporters of the pony 10- ceived $149.20 for a win and 822 for a place. Hareford was my place tip and he was just beaten by tal a length. Mr. Haimovitch, ideal jockey for this animal and if his services can be secured on Saturday Horsford will be well up in the Sub Griffins Champions.
an.
The American Cup went to the Eve Stahle this year. I thought Mr. Dunbar might repeat his last year's victory but Coos Bay had to concede first place to New Year's Eve weil ridden by Mr. Poté Hunt. The second and third places were in accordance with my selections.
Mr. Pote Hunt brought Gala Eve home first in the Leighton Hill Stakes and paid a dividend of $39.70. 'Moon managed to secure the second place I allotted to him with Mr. Usher's friend of yester day, Chatto, close third seems to suit this pony but I fear his big dividend paying camer is at an end as he will now be 100 closely watched.
He
Young Pretender turned out in the Phaeton Stakes "A" Class Handicap and bad no difficulty in winning Ukelele was second expected.
