TWO-DAY PROGRAMME FOR SIXTH EXTRA RACE MEETING AT VALLEY
CLOSE OF THE FIRST HALF YEAR'S RACING
DESERT CHIEF A CERTAINTY FOR JUNE HANDICAP
BY · LAST » QUARTER”.
The Sixth Extra Race Meeting" which is a two day affair will bring to a close the first ball year's racing conducted under the auspices of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Some extremely interesting races have been included in the programme for both days. On Saturday the opening event in a card of nine. is scheduled to be run at 2 p.m. On Monday, in view of the holiday, racing will com- mence at 12.30 pm, with a titin interval after the second race; the programme consisting of tea events.
Fields on both days, with a few exceptions, will not be on the large side but keen racing and finishes can be expected. Interest on the second day will be further augmented by the drawing of the $1.00 Special Cash Sweep on the Lantro Handleap. Sales have been brisk this last week and the first prize should be quite substantial. The race itself should be a close affair as it is confined to "B" Glass China ponies and I would venture to state the holder of the lucky ticket drawing any pony in the race will have a chance of carrying off one of the major prizes.
As the handicaps for the various prattically a gift race in the Whit- events on the second day are not sun Plate on Monday and may as yet available, I will confine my consequently be held over for it. notes to Saturday's racing only.
