THRILLING
MEETING AT
Galaxy's Surprising Win In St. Andrew's Stakes: First
Chinese Success Since 1929
EVERY CONCEIVABLE THRILL known on the racecourse was wit- nossed at the St. Andrew's Meeting held at Happy Valley last Saturday. The atmospheric conditions wore ideal and this was, in certain measure, responsible for the big muster of racegoors, both terraces in the two en- closures being packed to its full capacity.

It was certainly a great triumph to Mr. Chao, for it was the first occasion that an owner had the pleasure of piloting his own steed in this old Autumn classic and I am sure a record hard to beat.
Immediately after the race the presentation took place in the Stewards' Room before a good crowd of racing fans and Dr. G. D. R. Black, after a short speech, handed, the cup to Mr. Chao, who, in a few appropriate words, thanked the Chieftain for the beautiful trophy.
The last Chinese success was in 1929 when One-Third, owned by Mr. Y. M. Loo of Macao, romped home first, beating Xmas Chimes (Mr. Heard up) by a short head after a most thrilling race; the grey gelding was piloted by Mr. G. U. da Roza. Of course, Mr. Ho Kom-tong was the first. Chinese to win the St. Andrew's cup.

This was the fourth occasion that punters failed in their selection to connect the second pony of the com- bination and it may be of interest to know that the pool of $7,523 was the biggest since the introduction of the daily double event in 1933, in of fact doubling the highest sum $3,704 carried over from the second day of the Double Tenth meeting last-
the year. There is no doubt that daily double event (which will be on Handicap on-May-16-1836, and...it.is. dass to be hoped that Mr. Chiu's future the Tardy Handicap for "B"
