OUTSIDERS SUCCESSFUL AT RESUMPTION OF RACING

GOOD

OUT IN PAID MANY EVENTS

DIVIDEND

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.

GOOD ENTRIES FOR MACAO RACE-MEET THIS WEEK-END

(By "Captain Foster")

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

The curtain raiser Will be the Nanchong Handicap (first section) for subscription ponies over a milo and judging by the distribution of the lead it looks that the winner is to be found among the low weighters, Hogmany, Merry Doer and Victory Life. Of this bunch I like Merry Doer, and Shanghai 4 should be by now in better conditions. Fairy Auk has a good lond and this may hinder his chance.

The Lokchang Handleap is an endurance test over 11⁄4 miles con- fined to those sub-griffins of the Hongkong Jockey Club purchased by the Macno Club on March 18, and the event is to be ridden by novices. All the seven entries are, in my opinion, half milers, but I nominate Cloudy Star, Daddy-Longlegs and Double Up to Anish in that order,

In the Nanchang Handicap (second section) for Macno subcription ponies over a mile, Hopefuller has not been harshly treated and lie should give a good account of himself provided he is quite sound. He was a good animal last season and I saw him annexing a few smart events. Gold Clause should be respected and I am inclined to believe that Merry Falty will be running out of his distance.

Cricket Interport Now Cancelled

The forthcoming Interport cricket match between Hong- kong and Shanghai has been cancelled.

In view of the existing con- ditions, the Committee of the Hongkong Club has considered it inadvisable to continue with arrangements for sending a team north, and with great reluctance has notified the Shanghai Cricket Club accord- ingly.

Race Meeting, Cricketer, Dark Hazard and Persian Cat are about the best among this lot of 14 ponies entered for the event and the first named is my fancy:

The meeting wilt terminate with a ladies' event and it will not lack the usual keenness and interest.
