CAPTAIN FOSTER'S REVIEW
TURNOVER
£500,000 MORE THAN LAST YEAR
(By "Captain. Foster")
The turnover of totalisators for Sunday next promises to produce one of the beat Race Meet-this year passed the £4,000,000 ings held at Macao. The card consits of six events and fields in mark on September 28th, according nearly all of the races will be well over the average, particularly to an announcement made by the in the Polo Scurry, the Tang Shan Handicap, the Tain Shan Racecourse Betting Control Board. Handicap (Second Section) and the Ladies' sprint. Furthermore
I expect to see some close finishes.
Weather indications are этом favourable, and I therefore expect to see a farge crowd making the trip to the Portuguese Colony. The outing at this time of the year makes a pleasant change, and shoutl be most enjoyable.
To those intending to make the trip to Macao, I would any that the "Talshan"-a regular Hongkong/ Canton Lino steamer has been specially placed on the Macao ran Ep next Sunday. She

THE POLO SCURRY,
The Meeting opens with the Pole : Scurry over half a mile, and the finish promises to be a good one. Backers should concentrate on Bay of Calamity-Duiren-Stickypast— The Loafer and Winchester Stax. These are fast sprinters and should make 6 close race of it.

For the Tang Shan Handicap, I expect to men at least seven starters, The Carp-Delightful thanee and Hell for Leather should fight out the finish between them. Delight. ful Change in my plek for a win.
