Club Looks To The Future
New Long Distance Handicaps For 1941 Extra Race Meetings
IT APPEARS that the motto of the Hongkong Jockey Club is: "Better class ponies; Better class races.' Looking ahoad seems to be thair sole aim, for (according to the 1941 race fixtures just to hand) the Stowards have inaugurated a few now middle and long distance classic handicap events confined to all Australian ponies to be contested at the Extra Race Mootings during the current racing season...
LAST YEAR'S RESPONSE
?
It will be recalled that last year the Brisbane Spring Handicap for Australian ponies was lengthened from one and a quarter miles to two miles, and the response with a field of ten runners has no doubt prompted the racing Stewards for more long-distance races.

Another Victory For Cire?
Outstanding Gallops By Australian Subs.
Araxy II's Excellent Form
CLERK of the Weather was not too kind last Satur- day morning, but the jockeys and trainers had to exercise their ponies and there were several fast gallops over the Derby course in preparation for the big meeting.
The best among the Austra- Į lian subscription" ponies was done by Araxy II who came out of the trial with flying colours.
Accompanied by Catterick Bridge, the pair Jumped off with 321 seconds for the first quarter run In and the first mile was 2.002.
