HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1937. :
Strathroy Dead-Heats With Gypsy
Thrills For Punters. At
The Race Course
Fine Win By Coronation Day: Mr. S. W. Tang Qualifies
Although there was only one big dividend, the opening day of the Eighth Extra Race Meeting, at Happy Valley yesterday was an unqualified success and, the fact that most of the races were extre- mely closely fought out affairs, especially in the Canberra Handicap when the favourite, Strathroy. was held to a dead-heat by Gypsy Love and in the October Handicap when Wild life just beat King's Warden by a head, spoke volumes for the handicapping.
Mr. S. W. Tang qualified to have his name in black letters when he scored his tenth win by bringing home Coronation Day to pay the handsome dividend of $138.50 in the Jordan Handicap while the Dally Double Dawn Star and Coronation Day paid the successful punters $64.90 for their modest. 85 bet.
The crowd was quite a large one considering the many other counter-attractions and as a result the cash sweeps were well supported. The most successful jockey of the day was Mr. Donald Black with two wins, two seconds and a third but honours amongst owners was evently distributed, no ene stable scoring more than one-first.
CARNARVON HANDICAP
Vira Mr. K. S. Shu) went off to à dying start in the Carnarvon Handicap but it was evident even in the very early.stages of the rane that it would not be able to last the pace.
King's Coronation Mr. B. A. "Proulx was made favourite and It fully ran up to expectations, Scenic View (Mr. N. Deltz) was second and Centre Forward' (Mr. Y. T. Fung, third, Vira had faded cut of the picture at the Vilinge Bend.

the
CANBERRA HANDICAP Strathroy (Mr. D. Black) favourite, only just managed to stave off defeat in the Canberra Handicap, being forced to a dead- heat by Gypsy Love (Mr. B. L. Tao) who
finished with an amazing burst of speed. Lancashire Chips
(Mr. B. A. Proulx) was third.
The race
was a very fast one with Lancashire Chips leading for the first half. Then Courting Eve came into the picture for a spell- but only a very brief spell for at the Village Bend there were only three. ponies In it-Strathroy. Lancashire Chips and Gypsy Love and the only change that took place was that Gypsy Love finished strongly to tie with Strathroy for first place.
