DEKKO WINS LANTAO HANDICAP: MR. TANG INJURED IN SAME RACE

Boolat Bay Disqualified,

Protest Sustained

FEW UPSETS, AT SIXTH "EXTRA" DESPITE TRACK Ticket 136147 Wins Over $80,000 In Special Big Sweep

MAIN INTEREST FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THE SIXTH EX- TRA RACE MEETING at Happy Valley on Saturday-last meet. ing for the first half of the sea son-was the running of the Lantao Handicap, which carried with it the big 580.000-odd first prize for the special $1 sweep.

Nor were the people who attended, though they may have conditions, "disappointed. been by the very poor weather

for, in addition to seeing Dekko (not amongst the three most heavily-backed ponies) win to give the lucky holder of ticket No 136147 the sum of $83,843.20, they had the additional thrill of watching a bad spill involving two mounts.

Two jockeys came down in this whereas Mr. Y. T. mishap, but. Fung on Gold Sovereign was for- tunate enough to get off unscath- ed, Mr. S. W. Tang was badly hurt, sustaining serious injuries to his ribs and collar bone.

Beyond the disqualification of Boolat Bay, recently bought by Mr. S. W. Lee, and ridden by him, for alleged boring after it had pass- ed the post a short head in front of Langhing Girl (Mr. S. C. Liang) in the West River Handicap, there was little else of rate in the meet- ing.

Suddenly the hitherto unnoticed Gog (Mr. V. V. Needs) began com- ing through on the rails. Phoenix also began drawing away, with Gallant Marshal, Wild Bear and Green Bay in close attendance.

As they passed the Post it looked odds on a dead heat between Gog and Phoenix, with the Marshal and Wild Bear second.

So it was eventually given, but not till after some confusion, in the course of which Sports Venture was actually led in as third pong!

Later, riderless, and with mafoo carrying its saddle, Gallant Marshal was led through the en- closure from the stables.

The track was, of course, very heavy, but there was nothing at all in the way of sensational divi- denda. The best were Poconos' $88.60 in the opening "event and Booint Bay's $69.70 in the race al-Mrs. B. Hail's Gog, 147 lbs. ready referred to. The "Daily
