Racing was very close and keen. The highest dividend was paid by Festival Eve in the Taipo Handicap when Mr. S. L. Yeun in piloting the pony home first paid its 29 backers with $198.30 a piece. There was considerable difficulty in getting the ponies off in this race. The wires at the gate were torn away in the first false start.
