ST. LEGER DAY IN HONGKONG

Night Star, Trentbridge An Warrington Expected To Wi

CRACK SHANGHAI JOCKEY TO PARTICIPATE

(By "Morning Dew")

To-day is St. Leger day in Hongkong and the best ponies in the various classes will be seen at Happy Val- ley. Fields are likely to be on the small side and favourites should have a good day.

Mr. S. Y. Sung from Shanghai will be riding and among other ponies he will be taking out Mayflower, Vigilance, and Don..

Night Star is in tip-top condition and when Mr. S. N. Pan mounts him for the Fremantle St. Leger, he is sure to be a red-hot favourite. He should win easily. The same applies to Trentbridge in the Hongkong St.. Leger, the pony being booked to start under Mr. A/J. P. Heard.

The Sub-Griffins St. Leger is a more open afair, Warrington being a bit more fancied than De Minis. Mr. L. G. Frost will be riding the favourite while De Minimis will go to the post under "Johnny" Heard.

The programme commences with a mile race for "A" Class ponies and although Diana Bay concedes very many pounds in weight she ought to win comfortably. There is very little, one can say about this race. Dlana Bay is it as a fiddle and it would be expensive to try and back something to beat King's Justice is running her. better now than he ever did, but 13 not class enough for the mare.

'Sung will probably ride Cossack's Beauty, unless he is given May- flower to ride, a pony with no chance at all.

Macao should be able to walk away with this race and the only op- position that I can see is from Paul Jones and Iron Grey.

The novices event over a mile seems a very good thing for Brechin with Mr. P. P. Botelho on the saddle. The pony is fit enough. and there is very little to beat. Gold Key in the "C" Class at. 162 pounds is not a bad proposition at all, but with Brechin in his pre- sent condition, there is no likeli hood of a close race: Mike with 8. W. Tang up should get a place, unless Alexandra Hail, with Pearce on the saddle can beat him. There are the four ponies in the race and Although Night, Star looks a of these Brechin is sticking out as certainty, the race for second and the best thing third place is extremely interest-
