FIRST EXTRA RACE Non-Winners Amply Provided For: Melbourne Cup Main Event Of Afternoon
BY LAST QUARTER“
The Melbourne Cup, open to Australian ponies of any season, over two miles, will be the main attraction at the FIRST EXTRA RACE MEETING of the Hongkong Jockey Club, tomorrow afternoon, when an interesting programme of nine events are down for decision. The addition of the clause "Winners of $4,000 or more in stakes since Jan. 1, 1941 barred" has brought about the enforced absence of Sapper, Distant View and Enited Express.
