LADIES' PURSE, CHINESE CLUB CUP AND VALLEY STAKES FORM THE AFTERNOON'S MAIN ATTRACTIONS
The second day's programme of the Hongkong Jockey Club's Annual Race Meeting
commences at noon sharp tomorrow with 10 events to be contested. The Ladies' Purse, the Chinese Club Cup and the three sections of the Valley Stakes for 1960 Subscription ponies will be the main attractions of the day.
Here are my estimates of the chances:~~
FIRST RACE
Valley Stakes (First Seellon); Bix Furlongs,
The opening event is confined to the first section, of now Aus- tralian subscription pontes,

.
(Second
THIRD RACE
Valley Secilon): Six Furlongs
The Second Section of 1060 ponies will gather together for this event and it looks as if the finish will be fought out between Linfield (Chun Kit) and Safety First (C. H. Renfrow),
Nishi People is quite good over this distance.
1 nominate Prince Valiant to win, with King's Parchment second and As You Wish hird.
