HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1931. RACING NOTES AND TRAINING TIMES
DETAILS OF YESTERDAY'S GALLOPS: KILREA AGAIN IMPRESSES WITH FAST GALLOP,
CAGAYAN GOES OVER THREE QUARTERS: UNIMPRESSIVE
BR
FINISH.
[BY MORNING DEW"]
Details of yesterday's gallops at Happy Valley will be found below and although there is nothing new revuled, wo of the gallops more rather significant. The first was the porform. nuce of Cagayan otr three quarters of a mile. The pour went over the first quarter in 31 seconds, and did the next in 30, but finished rather unimpressively, although he took 29.2 seconds for the journey. As Cagayan will, in all probability,-be starting in the Maidens on Satur day, his gallop yesterday was very timely. I fear he will not be such a warm favourite after
The other gullon that was a pointer to rail fans was the sprint of Kiles' over half a nule which the pony did in the excellent time of 60.2 Beconds, Kilret looks a certainty for the Sydney Maidens and only a very good. pony gutting the feel of good starta is likely to upra his ebances.
Diana Bay, it will be seen, was sent over three quarters of a mile and the pony lapped up this distance comfortably. Other gallops to which I would like to draw renders' attention are those of Wattle, Holly Leaf, Sanution, Azalm Leaf and Tunnes,
There will be no further publication of training times, but on Saturday a very thornagh' discussion of the chances of the various, ponies engaged will be published. Look out for them.
