AJAX CREATES BIG UPSET AT
RACES ON. SATURDAY
HOLDS UP "DAILY DOUBLE" POOL
-
Dead Heat For Second Place In Thrilling Seventh Race
Race Finish
Creating the biggest upset in the Valley in recent times, Ajax won the Auld Reekie Handicap yesterday to pay a dividend of $212.70 and cause the "Daily Double" pool of $7,523 to be carried over to the next meeting of the Hongkong Jockey Club, no one having secured the correct combination. #
This was not the only upset yesterday. Golden Cow and Chatterbox also caused the majority of punters some disappointment, but the racing was keen and exciting and spectators generally had a good time.
