OUTSIDERS SUCCESSFUL AT RESUMPTION OF RACING

GOOD

DIVIDEND

PAID OUT IN MANY EVENTS

MANY CLOSE FINISHES MARK THE MEETING

(By "Captain Foster")

The resumption of Hongkong racing under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club last Saturday at Happy Valley was marked by the popping up of a few rank outsiders of unknown qualities. This was certainly an eye-opener to all followers of the turf. As a result, there dropped from the clouds a few juicy dividends and I am sure that those who had the good luck of approaching the paying counter must have left the racecourse in high spirits.

Apart froin the three I have quoted, there were in addition a few more payments of over $40 odd. The result of these excellent dividends for places was alue to the extraordinary public money on certain unplaced

GOOD ENTRIES FOR MACAO RACE-MEET THIS WEEK-END

(By "Captain Foster")

The Macno Jockey Club has again been favoured with fairly good entries for their October race meeting to be held at Macao on Sunday. The opening event will be run át 2 p.m.

The curtain roleer will be the Nanchang Handicap (first scellon) for subscription ponies over a milo and judging by the distribution of

the lend it looks that the winner is to be found among the low weighters, Hogmany, Merry Doer and Victory Lite. Of this bunch I like Merry Doer, and Shanghal 4 should be by now in better conditions. Fuiry Aut has n I load and this may hinder hish.

The Lokchang Handicap is an endurance test over 11⁄4 milles con- fined to those sub-grifins of the Hongkong Jockey Club purchased by the Macao Club on March 10, and the event is to be ridden by novices. All the seven entries are, in my opinion, half milers, but I nominate Cloudy Star, Doddy-Longlegs and Double Up to finish in that order.
