CAPT. FOSTER'S DARK TIPS FOR LARGE FIELDS
GRIFFINS CUP CHANCES

IS YTHAN FOLLOWING EXCHANGE MARKET?
(By "CAPTAIN FOSTER")
According to the race fixtures of the Hongkong Jockey Club, there will be three Meetings during this month. The main event for to-morrow is the Hongkong Grißins Cup, then three St. Legers to be run on November 16 and the St. Andrew's Stakes on the fast day of the month.

I am of the opinion that Mistake Bay was not up to her best form at the Annual Meeting, but the trip to the North during the Summer months has done her a world of good and she is another pony altogether. Mis take Bay is a lovely built animal with beautiful hind-quarters and
The conditions of St. Andrew's Stakes over the Derby distance have been altered from an open event to a Handicap race, and the winner of the St. George's Plate 1935 and ponies of the "A" einds are barred. With the elimination of King's Jubilee and Rose Queen whoher action is "A1" in the Lloyds. ran to a dead heat in the St. George's Plate last April, I am sure there will be a good entry of "B" and "C" class ponies for the main event,
