CASH SWEEPS WELL SUPPORTED

"THE "SECOND DAY OF THE EIGHTH EXTRA RACE MEETING WAS EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE THAN THE FIRST DAY AND AGAIN THE CLERK OF THE WEATHER FAVOURED RACE FANS WITHI KRILLIANT SUNSHINE AND THUS, COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THE COURSE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION MADE FOR SOME EXCELLENT SPORT:

As was the case on the first day, there was only one upset and curiously enough it was the same jockey. Mr, S., W. Tang who pro- vided the thrill. On Saturday M. Tang brought Coronation Day first past the post in the Jordan Handicap to pay his backers $138,50: he caused and even bigger upset yesterday when he came in first in the Human Handicap on Gold Celn to pay the handsome return of $178.40 for a win and $23.60 for a place bet..

The Dally Double-Blandford-Yum Sing-only paid $51.30 but the cash sweeps were well supported. Although the fields in two of the races yesterday were extremely small, the form displayed by the ponies promises an extremely fine afternoon's sport at the next meeting when the big sweep on the Kwangtung Handicap will be held. The sale of tickets in this connection is going on very well indeed and it is expected that the lucky holder of the ticket for the first prize will receive something in the neighbourhood of $25,000.

KIANGSI HANDICAP

The Arst race of the day provided jan excellent finish with Soldier of China (Mr. B. L. Tao! and Boolet' Bay (Mr. D. Black fighting out the Issue, neck and neck, for the last 200 yards.

Kum Shan Mr. K. S. Shu was heavily backed but it made the mistake of trying to do a runaway race with the result that by the time the Village Bend was reached she faded out of the picture. The Soldier pony kept about in the 'middle of the field till the quarter- mile post when it went into the lead with a fine fishing burst. 1-Kiangsi Handicap ("C" Class) 1st Section (From the 2 Mile Post; Once Round and In)
