Today's Chances At The Valley

By "RAPIER”

The Tenth Race Meeting of the current Hongkong Jockey Club sea- son will be held today and, given fine weather, it should attract a large crowd. The programme will consist of nine events, with the First Saddling Bell at 1.30 p.m. and the first race starting at 2.00 p.m. sharp.

The Customs Pass Handicap will constitute the main event. It will be con- tested by Class 1 ponies, they will be called on to travel from Near The 1% Milo Post.

Here are my estimates of the with Mr. Samareq during
