CAPT. FOSTER'S DARK TIPS FOR LARGE FIELDS
GRIFFINS CUP CHANCES
AN OUTSIDER THAT MAY DRAW BETS
IS YTHAN FOLLOWING EXCHANGE MARKET?
{{By" "CAPTAIN FOSTER")
According to the race fixtures of the Hongkong Jockey Club, Chere will be three Meetings during this month. The main event for lo-morrow is the Hongkong Grimis Cup, then three St. Legers to be Ta on November 18 and the St. Andrew's Stakes on the Inst day of the month.
envering the last quarter in 32.1/5th and was not pressed.

The conditions of St. Andrew's Stakes over the Derby distanco have, bécu altered from an open event to a Handicap race, and the winner of the St. George'a Plate 1986 and ponies of the "A" class are barred. With the elimination of King's Jubilee and Rose Queen who 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.
With the exemption of the first race, the Surrey Handicap, the feld for to-morrow will be at least over ID in dve events
and
the other two races will have over half-a-dozen. In the Surrey Handicap, I fancy that Ribble has a good sporting chance but he must have a strong rider and there is no harm in occasionally applying the whip-in fact it is essential on a slugger.
At his last two outings he ran worse than an "E" class pony but if he could only reproduce the form with which he
won the Happy Valley Spring Handicap "A" Division from the 2 Mile Pust, once round an in, in # record time of 2.12.2/5lbs, I am sure he will pass the post first with fetman and King's Bounty to follow.

The run- ning of the Carnarvon Handicap held on the first day of the Double Tenth Meeting is not a bad guide to apot the winner and a compari Bon of weights of those who ran in that event and what they are to carry to-morrow will undoubtedly roveal some interesting figures shown. In the box on this page.
It will be observed that Pentlac Bay, who gave a beating of "2 Lengths" to Rose Queen, had a pull of 8th whereas to-morrow Kome Queen is meeting Poutine Bay with a pull of 3 is.

Newly promoted to the first division of the S.F.A. league and at that selected as a good representative team to play in a special charity fixture, Club Lusitano defeated the Hongkong Chinese, winners of the soccer champion- ship of China at the just completed Sixth National Athle- tic Meeting by 4-2 says the first detailed report of the match from Shanghai.
