Topspeed proves top value

Once again if you wanted to make a profit from your favourite pastime you had to follow the Racing Post which made a clean sweep of the territory's tipping prizes.

The magnificent Topspeed led the way.

Yet again Topspeed (Tony Harbidge) finished the season in profit.

A level $10 win and place wager on all his selections through the campaign yielded a remarkable $233.50 profit. Until Harbidge started tipping no one had shown a profit on the whole season's selections. He does it with a regularity that levels his rivals for dead.

Derek Currie has retained his title as the territory's most prolific tipster. Throughout the season he managed to find 136 winners and is the undisputed tipping champion of Hong Kong.

Racing editor, Lawrence Wadey, won the Naps competition for the second time.
