'Captain Foster's" Racing Review
JANUARY MEETING
ENTRIES REACH USUAL MARK FOR THE AREIA PRETA COURSE
THE JANUARY RACE MEETING under the auspices of the Macao Jockey Club will be held at Areia Prota on Sunday, the entrios boing up to the usual mark. The first saddling bell will be rung at 1.45 p.m.
SZECHUEN HANDICAP SHOULD PROVIDE BEST RACE
The opening event will be the Kansu Handicap, and the run is over six fur longs. On paper, Eagle should have an casy passage to collect the first prize, but think National Triumph is dangerous as he has been well treated with an allowance of a stone. Cloudy Star should occure a 'minor place.
Final Selections
The best race of the afternoon should be seen in the Szechuen Handicap, in which the handi- copper has assigned six of the best Macao subs to the first section. The event is a scramble over five furlongs, and anything may happen. If my memory serves, Shanghai 4 has never as follows: before been allotted an impost of 140 lbs, and I am sure it must be a great relief to the old warrior when he appears before the starter. I fancy him with Fairy Ousel and Meadow Eve to follow in the rear.

Training Track Times Augur New Records
LAST SATURDAY was a lovely morning, and the
going was exceptionally good. There was present at Happy Valley a good crowd of interested owners, and in the circumstances several Australian ponics of this sea- son's bunch have come forward in the limelight. Judging by the training gallops, I have a good reason to predict that we shall see a few new track records established at the forthcoming annual meeting.
