HONGKONG JOCKEY CLUB RACES _AUSPICIOUS START OF 1919 MEETING A DAY OF SURPRISES The first great surprise came in the Victoria Stakes, when, contrary to all expectations, Malcolm beat Sandy, the favorite, and Spotted Sand, a pony that was very heavily backed on account of its work on the training track. Malcolm's win must be put down to the fine judgment which its rider displayed Almost to the very end the race seemed to be between Sandy and Spotted Sand. Grey Goose, another much fancied pony, did mot finish in the first five. The Pari-mutuel paid a dividend of $245.30 on Malcolm for a win, only eleven tickets having been taken on his chances. Curiously enough, however, it was backed so heavily for a place that a dividend of only $7.60 was paid.
