MODERATE DIVIDENDS

Although several upsets were registered at the First Day races of the Sixth Extra "Race Meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club held on Saturday afternoon, not many appreciable dividends were returned with the exception of Racing Heart's win in the Victoria Park Handicap which returned 350,66 to each of its 191 successful backers. The other dividends were moderate and the cash sweep dividends were all below the usual average. Racing Heart and King's Sceptre's combination was responsible for the 30 success- ful backers of the Daily Double to receive $123.40.each.

Attendance on the whole was only moderate which was part- ly responsible for the state of the dividends. The rain earlier in the day helped to make the truck easy going, and although no records were broken several close finishes were witnessed,

The day's racing provided Mr. W. H. Choy, a win which en- abled him to graduate from the Novices' class. Riding honours were evenly divided. Mr. H. C. 14h heads the winning list with two firsts, one second and two thirds, while Mr. S. L. Liang had two firsts and a third, Mr. N. Deltz had one first, one second and two thirds, Messrs. I. C. Harris and D. Black each had one first -and a second and Mr. B. A. Proulx had a first and a third.
