RACING BOY "MORAL CERT': POLAR STAR FANCIED FOR "AUSSIE" CHAMPIONS

GLENEAGLES SHOULD WIN MAIN EVENT

(BY: MORNING DEW")

Today, the Hong Kong Jockey Club will be holding their final race meeting of the year and no doubt muters will be there in large mmbers as it will be the last chance they will have until the Annual Meeting next year. There are three champions” t bu decided and although some of the best ponica that raced in re cent months are not eligible for the Champions to-day, yet these events are full of interest. The fields, however, in the champions are not expected to be big.

Racing Boy appears to me to be unbeatable in his own class and after annexing five wins during the five days of the Annuai Meeting, the pony went ou from victory to victory throughout the year whenever he raced with subscription griffins. Ho annexed the St. Læger in November and there is nothing to stop him from win- ing the Champions this afternoon-nut cren Bistre, after his wiceess of last week..

Polar Star is sure to start a hot favourite for the Queensland Autumn Champious and unless Mr. Frost can work wonders on The Giraffe, there is no reason to think that Polar Star will be beaton to-day,
