Inadequacy Of The Semaphore

Misleads Punters

THE HONGKONG JOCKEY CLUB provided the racing public with good sport at Happy Valley last Saturday, but it would be advisable to the in- terest of all concerned that the Club should pro- vide a bigger semaphore that can hold throó saddie numbers horizontally in a row.

What actually happened was this. A most thrilling finish was seen in the Jordan Handicap (first section) for "D" class China ponies when West Lake crossed the wire first, beating three runners almost in a line by one and a half lengths. After a few minutes of deliberation the judges decided that they could not separate Eve of Hunt- ing (R. M. Wood), Portrush (H. S. Cháng) and Sunlight View (H. C. Pih) and a dead-heat was therefore awarded
