Sixteen men and five women took off from Kowloon at 5.16 p.m. The water was slightly choppy, but the current was not conaldered strong. Pereira, swimming strongly, took the

Rounding the corner Bru- don run out and the Jockey Proulx could not get her to run a straight course. Eventually the mare shut i up like a knife and it was very dis- appointing. In fact a rude shock to the punters who made her a hot favourite. Brutus, who Was alan well supported, was well placed when entering the straight, but Violet Queen, who had a plendid position on the rails, came out with a great rush which Brutus could not stave off. Violet Queen weat on to

EMERGENCY CALL
TOO GOOD FOR REST OF FIELD
t
Emergency Call was too good for the rest of, the starters in the Clear Water Boy Handicap for "E" class over six furlongs and he won the event quite comfortably in 136 Bal The manner, in which Charlie En- carnacao took him out at the start and maintained the lead till the winning post, has no doubt prompted the classification sub-committee to consider his running and as
result Emergency Cait is now in the "D" class. Double Chance, who Was never in the picture, seemed to have lost his sense of racing but fall to understand the amount of money on Five Rulers (unplaced) who was back backed to the tune of 805 tickets for a win and 515 tickets for a place, involving a total investment of $5.- 000. It was certainty too much dough on an "E" class guy and no doubt Emergency Call" with En- carnacao in the soddle could have paid $10.40 for a win and $8.30 for a place. It was 4 marvellous dividend owing to the fact that Emergency Call was sure of a place.
