Captain Foster's" Racing Review

ANNUAL MEET ANALYSED

AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS FROM

EVERY POINT OF VIEW-

A FULL REVIEW of the Annual Race Meeting under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club, which was brought to an end last Saturday at Happy Valley, is not feasible owing to want of space, but I sincerely hope that a short "general run over” of the five days of racing will answer the purpose.

Honours To Shanghai: Eu Tong-sen's Failure

The meeting was undoubtedly a grand success from every point of view, and a vote of thanks must be tendered to the Stewards, Officials and the staff in general for the very efficient manner |which every department was run. This, of course, was much appreciated by the men

of the turf.

PARI-MUTUEL RECORD

To estimate the crowd pre- sent at the Annual Meeting,' I have nothing to go upon, but

that the heaviest backed event in the pari-mutual department was the Ichang Handicap (second section) for "B" class China ponies run on the last day of the Carnival. ́ ́·

Congratulations are due to the owner, Mr. Li Lan-gang. for capturing the most exclusive Australian classic event. It was a brilliant performance of Far View, who annexed the triple crown, namely, the third section of the Sydney Maiden Stakes (the time being equal to present record), the Rooty-H}}} Derby (lowering the track. figure by one and four-fifths seconds) and the Australian Ponies Champions.

The success was, in certain men-', sure, due to the fine handling of the non-starter mare (stred by Furr) by the jockey. Mr. H. C. Pib, and this little "Miss Australia of the Carnival" was the third grin of the meeting to cap- ture two Important classics. the Rooty-Hill Derby

and the Aussie Champions. The first youngster to nchieve the double was Polar Stor in 1932, and in the following year Night Star repented the feat.
