Place; Sot Ciré's Sal lit Beaten in Colony, Taking Second een Meeting in History Hongkong, Feb, 21.
BEFORE a huge crowd at Happy Valley today, Mr. C. B. Brown's Craek Griffin, Burford, ridden by the Chinese jockey Pih, won the Hongkong Champions in record time. Mr, Bric Moller's Satinlight, with his son, R. B. Moller up, finished second, while Mr. L. Dunbar's Confusion Bay (Black up) came third. The time—2 min, 20-4/5 sec. bettered Silkylight's record by 375 of a second, Burford thus turned the tables on Satinlight, winner of the Hongkong Derby on Monday, in which race Burford came second. The defeat of Satinlight, however, did not come as a great surprise, as Burford had broken the mile record by 2-2/5 sec. yesterday.
