Gold Vase Won by Tell-me-more in Tight Finish The one outstanding race at the Chinese Jockey Club. course on "December 1 and sufficient in itself as modern racing in Shanghai goes, was that for the Geld Vase."
Old Triumph started out to make the pace, but it seemed that Glen Dochart was struggling all the way) through the earlier part of the race to get the lead. Consequently, it was fast going. Behind these two the; field packed tight. At the half-mile; Glen. Dochart' went to the front, but then there was nothing in it and any one of the field could have won, In the straight, The Tiger Hero was the first to show up, going far more strongly than his running of the previous day suggested. He was never allowed got away, for three or four more hung to him and there was a desperate finish. In the end, ell me-more claimed the race by a half-Length from The Tiger Hero, but. ho was going so well that one was convinced he could have done much botter, The majority conceded third place to Bright Lad, but the Judge gave the place to Star-fort, only a half-length behind the second, which shows haw close a finish it was. Noodt considers he should have won the race had he been able to get through and that rmuakes it still more debateable.
