FISTORY REPEATED ITSELF WHEN THE HONG KONG DERBY WAS RUN AT THE RACE
SIVE WIN IN THE BLUE RIBAND OF THE LOCAL TURF BY
MR. V. V. NEEDA'S SECOND DERBY
SECOND SUCONS
BRINGING IN THE EVE LENGTHS STABLE'S FIRST STRING CANDIDATE, HAPPY EVE, PAST THE POST MANY AHEAD OF EXPANSION TIME (MR. J. POTE-HUNT), WHILE THE THIRD POSITION WAS.. FILLED BY THE STABLE COMPANION OF THE WINNER, HAVOC EVE WITH MR. D. 8. LI ON THE SADDLE.
AS WAS THE CASE LAST YEAR, THE HOT FAVOURITE FOR THIS CLASSIC, ROSEMARY. RACING UNDER MR. EU TONG SEN'S COLOURS, WAS UNPLACED. IT WILL BE REMEMBER- ED THAT AT THE 1938" MEETING, ROYAL SCOT, THE HARBRAD FAVOURITE, WAS BEATEN LIKE ROSEMARY, THE FAVOURITE AT THAT BY THE EVE CANDIDATE, HONEYMOON, EVE. MEETING DID NOT PLAGE AND IT SEEMS A COINCIDENCE THAT IT WAS ALSO MR. NEEDA WHO UPSET ALL EXPECTATIONS THEN,
ה
The crowd that turned out yesterday was a typlent Derby Day crowd and although the weather was not all that could be desired, the keenness of the race fans never wavered. The Jockeys, of course, provided us with some excellent sport and Mr. I. C. Harris caused the biggest upset of the day when he rode Lianarmon to win in the second race of the day and pay his backers the very good return of $101.20.
Mr. Leo Frost was the most suc- cessful Jockey of the meeting, rid- ing two wins, two seconds and two thirds while Mr. Donald Black also scored two victories.
The "Daily Double" paid $72,50. and the full results, of the day's sport were as follows:-
THE TOWER STAKES The first race of the day, The Tower Stakes, saw the favourite, Gordito (Mr. V. C. Sung winning by a short head from Pagan Love 1Mr. F. Marshall) who was the same distance in front of Corona- tion Day (Mr. L. O. Frost). Bouldnor (Mr.. E. C. Leighton) re- fused to run after passing the post for the first time and returned to the paddock.
Bouldnor went into the lead when the barrier went up and kept up, amongst the winners till he decided to give up the race. Pagan Love, Coronation Day and Gordito were bunched together about the middle but when the Custodian's Shed was reached the favourite went to the lead and

THE GARRISON CUP
Sir Victor Sassoon led in the winner and was given a tremend- ous ovation.
THE CHATER CUP Good riding on the part of Mr. D. 8. Li featured The Chater Cup which he won on Dawn' Star while the hot favourite, King's Lead "(Mr. F. Marshall was unplaced. Bright

Rose Evelyn wus third and Tiny Star (Mr. D. S. L) fourth.
THE MONGOLIAN STAKES Despite the fact that the were 28 starters in the first race after tiffin. Mr. Alec Fotts sent the field good style. Mr. 8 C. away in Liang was thrown before the race but he made up by dead-heating
