HANDICAPPER'S SMART WORK IN ISLAND BAY EVENT
ABLE AMAZON CREATES RECORD FOR AUSTRALIAN PONIES
(By "Capt. Foster")
The feature of the Eighth Extra Race Meeting under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club which was held last Saturday under ideal weather was, as predicted, that Able Amazon (an, Australian Sub-Griffin of 1934 owned by Mr. "Fatshan") established a new record for five Furlongs, lowering the previous best time by a
second.
The best race of the day was in the Island Bay Handicap " Cinas (First Section) in which, after a most exciting and thrilling finish, the Judges had, after careful deliberation, to award a "Dead Heat" to Soldier of Pence and Moroplane. Had the lat ter won, the solitary holder of the ticket for the second leg of the Dally Double Event would have collected VET $2,000 instead of $1,152.80. In uy notes I said that the Handicapper had set a knotty problem for fans to pot the winner in this race and very much regret that none of my nominations was placed. the
The starting under able guidance of Mr. Alec. Potts was perfect, and in deserving of the highest praise.
