PROSPECTS AND SELECTIONS FOR
"THE FIRST DAY.
SOME GOOD PONIES AND THEIR CHANCES.
LARGE FIELDS EXPECTED.
[BY EARLY BIRD.]
The Annual Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club opens at Happy Valley to day, the first race commencing at noon.
Some 183 ponies have been entered for the meeting and I have every reason to believe that fields will be considerably larger than they have been in the past. Some of the griffins have a breedy look about them and the subscription griffins on the whole, are a fairly representative Job with a few outstanding members. Amongst the old ponies we have some of our best performers at previous An- nual Meetings.
-The Tracki
The track is in excellent con- dition. It appears to be on the fast side as recent clockings indicate and I, would not be surprised to see
some of our existing records lower ed particularly in the long distance events.
As usual we have a number of crack riders from the North. Mr. "Billy" Hill will be riding first string for the Dunbar stables and probably second for the Eve stable, Mr. Pote Hunt will be riding first for the Eve stable, Mr. Haimovitch has been secured for the Dynasty stable. Mr. Heard will be up on the John Peel and Messrs. Dyer and Beith ponies. Mr. Encarnacao will have Mr. Ho Kom Tong's string. Mr. Quincey will be riding first string for Mr. Chan and Rafeek and Mr. Hu will be looking after the interests of Messrs. Lec and Lau.

This is a very welcome in- novation in case the ponies have to be rugged on account of adverse weather. Another improvement will be the blackboard which will be placed near the judges box to show the pari-mutuel results."

The Pheasant has shown wonder. ful form and the Ape will be his biggest danger. Zephyr is sure to carry a lot of the right kind of sup- port owing to his convincing track displays. King's Tallock may also be a possible danger here.

We may see Adam and President Hall opposed in this long distance Covent in order to get an angle on

Grand Tattoo Eve may also be held over for this event. Royal Flush should be amongst the plac- ings if started and in case Bluchill Day is not started earlier he may run very well here."
Jockey Club Stakes. Sitting Bull is a cinch for this event if he is kept over although the stable may reverse the order and send Elliot Bay instead. New Year's Eve is a hundred per cent. improved pony and will make them run. Young Pretender may be held over for this event in which case the result will be rather interest- ing.

This race is very open owing to the fact that most of the outstand- ing, ponies having been sent out in earlier events. Half Pint may have a chance as his form is on the right side at the moment. Pink Pearl will also be amongst the likely ones and should any of the Hynes and Mackie, Dyer and Beith, or Dynasty stable start the race should be a very interesting affair.
