Following are the teams announced tercia; The Reynoldstown Steeplechase, starting from the Loong-fie Gate, once round and in, is the first race this afternoon when the Fourth Extra Race Meeting of the Shanghai Race Club will be held. On account of the possibility of the races for Australian ponies being run in two sections the saddling bell for the first race will be rung at 1 o'clock.
The name of San Carlo is the first to catch the eye of all interested in steeplechasing, as this pony has showed remarkable improvement during the last twelve months against the best over the sticks, His most recent accomplishment was the winning of the LR.C. Grand National, a fortnight ago, in which he defeated the favourite Rye by two lengths. He does not appear to be a "Ecert" for this afternoon as he is today given only one pound off his weight for inches whereas in the National, he started nine pounds off.
Jack Kay and the impulsive Tar Heel are more determined than ever to win this race since last week when he was "done li for a place by Morris Water Jump which brought them down. I do not think Kay can utilize his full allowance as the best he can do is 149 pounds.
On last week's running I would not give White Patches or Bobby a thought but Port Bradda with a good rider must be close, Going Slow is the strongest fancy among the tipsters and from reports It seems that he should be the winner. He finished strongly in the LR.C. National. Sammy is very fit and despite his penalty of five pounds should still be in the running. Socrates has only started on the flat and has not done too well. Steve Brodie is my idea of the winner and with only two pounds "Meng, over his weight for inches he should be able to do the trick. at 148 pounds is alwi 'x, Going Slow and San Carlo may give the winner the best race and pass the post in this order, Following are the starting times at the Hungjao Golf Club this week-end Women's names are printed in italics.
