SPORTS NOTES AND COMMENTS.

[BY BROADCASTER".}"

The second half of the racing season. will commence this month and already, the ponies in Hong Kong are being put through their

paces,

One or two animals are showing very much improved form over the first half of the year, and there will certainly be a good pro- portion of upsets on September 27, Some very fine animals will be racing after the summer interval and racing fans will be pleased to hear that practically the whole of the cross-breds in Shanghai will be down here by the next Annual Hecting. One animal, Pride of Tsingtao is already down here and there is already talk of more broken records before the Annual Meeting.

The Fanling Races will be resum- ed about a month later than those at Happy Valley, and I understand that there will be flat racing in Kwanti this year in addition to steeplechasing. The flat races will be over long distances, and I. be- lieve the best ponies on the flat will be barred by the conditions. This makes things all the more inter- esting.. By the way, all the Fan. ling Race Club's events will in future be recognised by the Jockey Club in Hong Kong and the three rico clubs in Shanghai as official races, unless the conditions of the race expressly state otherwise.

The finishing touches are being

put to the widening of the straight at Happy Valley The turf, inspite
