H.K. JOCKEY CLUB RULING
At race meetings held under the auspices of Hongkong Jockey Club in" the past, it has been the prac- tice of some starters to insist that diMoult ponies. which Juckeys could not hold themselves should be held behind the rest of the feld at the start in order that the. start should not be delayed.
The stewards have now issued a ruling to the effect that thie prac- tice may be enforced at the dis cretion of the starter.
