Hongkong's 1940 Derby produerd one of the most thrilling finishes yet seen at Happy Valley. This is a picture of the field on their first time of passing the Stand. Spicylight leads, and the uliinate winner Salta- ight is third, with Burford Tying fourth. Cralgavad is further behind.

If a greater gap existed between second and third ponies, this picture might well have been one of the finish, substituting Satinlight and Burford for the leading pontes-Ming Yuen.
