Although dividends were оп the moderate side despite favourites having had an off day, the Fourth Extra Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club which was held on Saturday could be classed as a successful one from the sporting point of view. Good sports was had and several close and thrilling fin- ishes were provided.
Attendance on the whole was very gratifying, and the many ladies who were present dressed in their best frocks lended yet another touch of colour to the whole scene.
The Cash Sweep dividends were all over the $1,000 mark and in the last, race when the sweep was based on a $2 ticket, the first prize yielded up less than $2,805.20.
The highest dividend
of the day was returned by Mr. Helenside's Valorous (Mr. But- ler) in the second, section of the Mount Davis Handicap when the pony reached home a neck ahead of the favourite--King's Sceptre to pay its 137 backers $62.30 each. The combination of King's Justice and Ythan paid $72.50 each to its 49 success- ful backers in the Dally Double.
Riding honours on the whole were very evenly distributed. Mr. Donald Black after having won two races had the misfor- tune to be unmounted from Bear Claw in the Tai-Mo-Shan Han- dicap. He was injured in the leg which prevented him from tak-" Ing any further part in the day's races. Mr. H. A. de B. Botel- ho repeated his success of the last meeting when he cleverly pilated Gold Sovereign home first in the Novices' Race to beat the red hot favourite, Boxing Eve by two lengths.
Mr. D. Black although prevented from riding further after the seventh race due to injuries received was the most successful jockey of the day, returning two firsts and a second. with Mr. P... P. Botelho coming next with two firsts and two thirds, Mr. Ip Kui Ying with two firsts and Mr. H. C. Pih with a first, two seconds and two thirds.
