OWING TO NON-DELIVERY of China pony subscription griffins, the Stewards of the Hong kong Jockey Club had no other alternative but to call up the "reserves" to fill the programme, and there was certainly no discrimination of prizes between a good 'orse and a "hack"

The pony. flat events. confined to old China ponies during the first half of 1940 racing season can hardly be dismissed without some comment.

In the past, the "A" and "B" classes of China ponica had all the say at the Annual Carnival, but this season, the small owners of "C", "D" and "E" divisions were very much in the limelight.

They should pat themselves on the back that their steeds were provided with attractive contests (the entries practically at all times being divided into two sections) from sprint to distance outings,

One would hardly believe that several ponies, which had retired from the Valley, came back into the arena, and a good few earned enough stake money to keep them going for another year.

It will be recalled that after

the Spring meeting, the Ameri- [66D99 can owner, Mr. L, Dunbar, who

was one of the main pillars of Hongkong racing, sold his entire
