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 being 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 easy 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 secure a minor place.

Now Bedford ran very well last Sunday and I have not been able to ascer tain whether the grey gelding is making the trip to the Macao course. The pony has, in my opinion, a good chance, provided the owner jockey (Mr. Sequeira, a novice) will take a tip in the true sporting spirit. My humble advice is to face the start without a whip, and I am sure he will find that the pony runs better. Second Section
