Tomorrow's Chances At The Valley

By "RAPIER

THE CHINA MAIL,

The Second Day of the Eleventh Race Meeling under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club which concludes tomorrow will feature the running of the Hongkong Derby to be contested among the pick of the 1954 Subscription ponies over the gruelling one-and-half miles course.

In addition to the Hongkong Derby, tremendous interest will also be centred on the "Special Cash Sweep" tomorrow. More than 1,070,000 tickets have been sold up to time of writing.

Here are my estimates of the chances:
