THE CHINA MAIL, NOVEMBER 11, 1938.
Governor's Cup Main Race
AT MACAO TO-MORROW
Shanghai 4 Expected To Stage Comeback
(By “RAPIER”)
The November Meeting of the Macao Jockey Club will be run off to-morrow instead of on Sunday. Owing to quarantine restric-| tions, which are still in force, s.s. Taishan will leave Hong Kong at 9.30 a.m. to-morrow, returning to the Colony at 3 a.m. on Sunday. Macao Jockey Club have made a wise move in advancing the date a day, taking advantage of to-morrow being a holiday so that race-goers will be spared the inconvenience of returning to their offices direct from the steamer on Monday.
Macao Star (Mr. Olsen) Mustard (Mr. Randolph). These ponies will be handled by Novice Jockeys, and a good race should ensue. Cloudy Star won the Lok Chang Handicap, over 14 miles at the previous meeting and has so been penalised 10 lbs., but as it was half-a-length in front of Daddy Long- legs at the finish, I think it will win again.
WUCHOW HANDICAP: FIVE FURLONGS
"D" class ponies will figure in this race, and I don't think we need look further than the following to battle out the finish:
Double Chance (Mr. A. W.,Raymond) Emergency Call (Mr. L. Wads) Zero (Mr. C. L. Gregory). At the previous meeting Emergency Call and Zero won in their respective is faster outings and as the latter, over a short distance, I favour it to
LIUCHOW HANDICAP: ONE MILE
This race is reserved for "E" class
The main event of the day, one mile and, judging by that perfor will be the race for the Gover-mance, it should account for this race. Rothesay Bay, although unplaced at nor's Cup. Presented by His the last meeting in a different race, Excellency, Dr. Arthur Tamag- also has a win to its credit, when it nini de Sousa Barbosa, Gover- won the Toishan Handicap, over six win. nor of Macao, this race will be furlongs at the September Meeting; As Rothesay Bay has beaten Gold contested by subscription grif: Clause at the last two meetings, it fins of Macao Race Club, and may again prove its superiority here.
LIMCHOW HANDICAP: ONE the Cup must be won twice in succession by a pony or ponies belonging to the same owner or owners, to be won outright. It is at present held by Merry Doer, owned by Mr. Tucker. There are altogether seven events on the programme, the last of which is reserved for lady riders.
KIUNGCHOW HANDICAP: SIX FURLONGS Subscription Griffins of Macao Race Club will contest this event,, and the
to face following are expected
starter:
the
Country Flower (Mr. W. N. Yeh) Coureur Bleu (Mr. S. L. Yuen) Gold Clause (Mr. L. Wade) Merry Fatty (Mr. C. L. Gregory) Morning Tip (Mr. A. W. Raymond) Rothesay Bay (Mr. P. Y. T. Wei) Wood Nymph (Mr. L. B. Chao). The best ponies to watch here are Rothesay Bay, Gold Clause and Morning Tip.
At the last meeting, Gold Clause came second to Fairy Ousel, in the Nan- chang Handicap (First Section) over
AND A HALF MILES
This race is confined to China ponies, subscription griffins of Hong Kong Jockey Club which were purchased by the Macao Race Club on March 16, and I expect the following to take part:--
Cloudy Star (Mr. C. F. Chiu) Daddy Longlegs (Mr. G. W. Cooper) Double Up (Mr. G. Treverton) Eagle (Mr. G. Payne)
Iron Knight (Mr. K. I. Ip)
ponies from the Valley, and, judging from its win in the Paddock Handi- cap, Flybynight has the best recom- mendation for a win, although it may be seriously challenged by Yum Sing, which came in second to Flybynight last Saturday.
HEUNGCHOW HANDICAP: 11⁄4
MILES
This race will be contested by 1938 subscription griffins of Hong Kong Jockey Club that have started at least in one race meeting at Macao and have not won.

I expect to see the following star- ters:-
Acme (Mr. L. Wade)'
Capo Comorin (Mr. F. F. LA) Cricketer (Mr. A. W. Raymond) Sahara Star (Mr. 8. C. Liang) Wenning (Mr. G. W. Cooper). Although Sahara Star has not done anything of note since it started racing, I think it has a good chance of scoring its first win in this race, with the only opposition coming from Wen- ning.
THE GOVERNOR'S CUP: ONE MILE This is the main ovent of the Meeting.
The following will probably start:- Fairy Auk (Mr. A. W. Raymond) Fairy Ousel (Mr. K. I. Ip) Hogmanay (Mr. L. Wade) Merry Doer (Mr. S. L. Yuen) Merry Maker (Mr. P. L. Jui) Shanghai 4 (Mr. P. Y. T. Wei). Judging from its win in the Nan-
meeting, chang Handicap (First Section) over one mile, at the October Shanghai 4, which will again be rid- den by Mr. P. Y. T. Wel, seems the logical winner of this race.
This Champion Sub. has now fully regained its old form, and I fail to see any serious challenge by the others.
A good struggle for second position
the holder of the cup, and Fairy Auk. should ensure between Merry Doer, LADIES' HANDICAP (UNOFFI
CAL): SIX FURLONGS This race will be handled by lady riders on ponies belonging to Kowloon Riding School, and from the entries it will be seen that the race will be
out between Black fought
Monday (Mrs. McKelvie) and Latitat (Miss B. Fair).
Although Black Monday won the Ladies' race at the September meeting Latitat, in my opinion, will give it a good fight as it is fairly fast over, a short distance.
