VALUE OF PUBLISHING TRAINING TIMES

Reader's Interesting Letter

The Editor,

The Hongkong Telegraph,

Sir,-As-an ardent lover of Races, I had been very lucky in making n few odd dollars during the Second-half Rucing Season 1933 through perusing

HOW IS IT DETERMINED?

I do not profess to be an expert or qualified writer on racing matters, but common sense, tells me that if a nohy in a gallop of a mile or any distance has a good finish, it certainly gives an indication to catinate the merit of the speed of the animal and I am prepared, to weger that no racing expert sBIL determine the

the speed by their good looks. It is recognised that. ORCERY and speed aro two essentials. In a race pony and if owners are not guided by training times, it would interest the very much to know how one would be able to ascertain which pony is a'! atayer. or eprinter?

The publication of these training. times has on many an occasion helped owlers to evalle meeting the "Cracker Jackers" and it would be a fallacy if "Racing Experts" had not a Step Watch to guide them. Training tiraos

of the

Hongkong Jockey Club would have to face o problem to provide a "Race Course" enough to hold the field.

As Τ said, being a very keen

racing fan, I shall be indebted if you or any of your readers could enlighten me regarding the following (to quote the very words of a contemporary's racing export)

"Mr. Ho Kem Tong's Classic Hall did a fine gallop and is sure to be among the placed ponies at the Annual Meeting if he does not actually win."
