YO HO WINS ROOTY-HILL DERBY IN FINE STYLE

Royal Scot Makes Amends

POOR RACING

CONDITIONS

Poor racing conditions iɛatured the third day of the Annual Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club" yesterday when on a track sodden with rain both jockeys and ponies found it hard going. Patches of water were seen all over the track and prior to the first race Chinese women were, employed to mop up the water along the home Streich. Under such conditions the times returned were an the slow side and there were a few upsets" during the day.

The chief attraction yesterday was the Rooty-Hill Derby for Australian ponles, which was won by Xo Ho from a field of nine starters. The Governor's Cup Race was also keenly contested. Mountain View with Mr. T. L, Wong up romped home first after a neck to neck race with Hopscotch. The owner of the winner, Mr. Li Lan Sang was presented with the Cup by His Excellency The Governor, Sir Andrew' Caldecott right after the race.

The fields on the whole were small compared to the last two „days' races and dividends were thereby affected by it. The only dividend of note was in the first race when Judea romped home first to pay $76.90 for a win-the highest of the day. The Daily Double, was successfully backed by 105 punters who were reward- ed with $18.50 each. Royal Scot who falled se miserably in the Derby made amends by romping home an easy winner in the Rac- ing Stakes.

Riding honours were very evenly distributed with Shanghai Jockeys obtaining most of the races although Mr. G. A. Harriman rode two wins. The leading jockey of the day was Mr. T. L. Wong who registered three firsts and a third, followed closely by Mr. F. Marshall with two firsts, two seconds and two thirds, Mr. D. S. LI with two Arsts and a second. Mr. Harriman with two firsts and Mr. Leo Frost with one first, three seconds and a third,

Same posi- tions were still being held when the ponies crossed the winning post the first time and as the Football Stand was reached Yo Ho snatch- ed the lead from Brentford. · Near the last quarter Yo Ho, Lancashire Lad and A Grand Time were bunch- ed together and as the ponies 4-The Albury Stakes (5 Furlongs) reached the stretch Yo Ho forged Mr. J. E. D.'s Electron, 155 lbs. ahead gradually to win from A Grand Time by two lengths while Lancashire Lad was "another three lengths in the rear.

THE PERING PLATE The Peking Plate was featured by the spurt of Cyclamen Bay which brought its 51 backers $11.10; for a place. Gladiator let down its 1100 backers badly. Hetman led followed by Gladiator, Cossack's Beauty. Same positions were main- tained the last quarter when Cossack's Beauty took the lead and won by three lengths. Cyclamen Bay who had remained in the rear spurted at the last 200 yards to make a magnificent last minute rully, and did it well to obtain second place.
