RACING NOTES AND TRAINING TIMES SEARCHING FOR HIS SIM SHIELD HOCKEY.
WOODLAND STAG PERFORMS CONVINCINGLY: MANY AUSTRALIAN PONIES DO FAST GALLOPS.
SOME NOTES ON OLD PONIES NOW TRAINING FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING,
BY MORNING DEW."].
Quite a large number of ponies were galloped yesterday morning as will be soen from the training times given below. The Australian ponies are being given soms very fast work to do and all of them are at the moment full of fight, though in the majority of cases the ponios are wanting in stamina. Woodland Stag went over a mile, and his time for the last three-quarters of the journey will be found below. His last quarter of 97.4 appeared almost effortless and he will probably turn out to be the best of the arrivals from Australia, Fritz again did a coN- vincing gallop. Queen Regent is another anitan! which travelled very well yesterday and hie progress should be followed as it looks as if this pony will pick up one of the five races arrang- ed for the Australian ponies at the Annual Meeting.
The Derby Class.
In the Derby class, Valorous was sent over a mile and three-quarters, but as the first half mile of the journey was very slow it is not given below. The romainder of the journey was clocked and readers will notice that the pony finishad in 30.3 seconds. He was not pven pushed to nehieve this time.
Mesars. Mackie and Grayburn's Spoy wont over
Fortune Bay went over full Derby distance, but his time is not convincing and his finish was very disappointing. Two ponies which, are just beginning to come up aro King's Service and King's Justice, Both are now stopping out nicely and we may yet see one of them being much fancied for the Derby before long.
'mile in the fast time of 2.13.2 and there is no doubt but that this pony is an excellent mover. For short distances ho will be a big fac tor, but it is seriously doubted whether the pony can stay the Derby distance at the Derby puce. King Willow and Jan Stewer continue to impress in the subscription griffin section and an- other animal which went, very well was Scrappit. Their times' will be found below.
The Old Timers. ?
Just a word about the old ponies. Quite a good number will bo racing in Hong Kong this year. Besides Diana, Bay, Apollo, Zorhan, Nationalist II., Sitting Bull, President Hall and other classy performers which are already familiar to racegoers in Hong Kong, there will be racing at the Annual Meeting, (providing nothing goes wrong in the meanwhile) Coronation Eve, Gleneagle, Hetman, and Gay Crusader all of which are really classy animals. It looks very much as it some records are due to be lowered. It may be interesting to add that Diane Bay last season's champion, is on the top of her form at the moment and can easily be depended upon to eclipso her performances of last year. Readers will find details of some of these ponies and their training performances in next week's training notes,
