MACAO RACE MEETING

INTERESTING

PROGRAMME

DRAWN UP

(BY LAST QUARTER")

With the present ideal weather conditions and assurances of Ane racing, the sporting fraternity would be well advised to visit the Portuguese Colony to-morrow for the November meeting of the Macao Jockey Club. The Stewards have drawn up an interesting programme of six events, including a sprint race for lady riders, and an afternoon of keen sport amidst pleasant surroundings can be anticipated. The S.S. "Kinshan" has been "placed on the run and will leave Hong Kong'at 9.30 a.m. returning from Macao at

? 6 p.m. on the same day.

The first event will be a Ning Furlongs race for "D" Cians ponies. Burgumaster is lightly handicap- ped at 145 lbs., and as this chestnut has always figured prominently on the Area Preta course, I consider his chance, bright. Copper Idol and Diogenes should share the re- maining places. Ocean View and Valley View will help to make up the field though the latter would be worth following if he looks well in the paddock.

From information received, Rothesay Bay is favoured to win the Foochow Plate over 5 Furlongs for Macao subs, the second race of Anished the day. Merry Fatty strongly at the last meeting and to- gether with Hegmanay should run well to-morrow.
