Meadow Eve Favoured For Main Macao Event
Big Sweep To Be Decided
By "Rapier"
MACAÓ JOCKEY CLUB will hold their Novem- ber meeting at the Areira Prata Race Course, Macao, on Sunday and the first bell will be rung at 2.30 p.m., the first race starting punctually at 3.00 p.m.
There are altogether six events on the pro- gramme, and it is expected that many enthusiasts. from Hong Kong will make the trip.
The s.s. "Chung Shan". of the section of "E" Class China ponier Hong Kong, Canton & Macao classified by Hong Kong Jockey. Steamboat Co. will leave Hong Club, and it appears to be that Kong on Sunday morning at 8.00 a.m. and will return from Macno on Monday at 3.00 a.m.
The principal race of the day will be The "Tongkawar Handi- cap," and a special $1.00 Sweep has been organised in connection with this event.
RACE NO. 1. THE VICTORIA HANDICAP: SIX FURLONGS
The day's programme opens with fi sprint event for "Y" Class China ponies that
have started this year and have not won, win- ners of $500 or more since Jan- uary, 1940 being barred. This will be contested by novice jockeys, Only four ponies. Country Flower (Mr. Chiu Ki-fan), Coureur Bleu (Mr. Young Wing-sing), Merry Fatty (Mr. G. W. Cooper) and Shih Yin Grand. (Mr. W. N. Yeh), have entered. Coureur. Bleu, for coming third in the Ma Lau Chow Handicap over the, saime distance at the September meeting, has been penalised by 15 lb. but, as it will, be competing against practi- cally the same, ponies, less Victory Life and Fairy Auk, who beat it before, I think its chances of winning are very bright. It will probably be extended by Country Flower, which will carry a light weight, and with Mr. Chiu Ki- Tan's fine riding at the moment, makes it a tough proposition, but I doubt if the latter pony will win.
There is also Shih Yin Grand to be reckoned with as this pony is good enough to win if it can pro- duce
of its old form: it used to be better than the two ponies mentioned above.

I nominate Coureur Bleu to take first place, with Country Flower second and Shih Yin Grand third. RAGE NO. 2. THE REPUBLICAN HANDICAP (FIRST SECTION)
