I found this Hong Kong Jockey Club enamelled bar brooch and two photographs depicting Sunning - Winner of the Hunan Stakes, Fanling 1932.
"The Hunan Stakes was a part of the Fanling Grand National Program, and a flat race of 6 furlongs for China ponies, subscription griffins of the HKJC and ponies classified by the HKJC in "D1 and D2' classes and to be ridden by jockeys who had not won 10 races at anywhere at anytime.
The "Sunning" that won the Hunan Stakes was owned and ridden by H. P. Rees. His other horse "Glorious Stag" came in second.
From the 1933 Jury List, it would appear that H. P. Rees was Horace Peter Rees."
Above information was provided by moddsey. I would appreciate if you can provide additional information about the Hunan Stakes, including "ponies classification by the HKJC in "D1 and D2' classes" and this HGJC Brooch.
For more accurate information, I would suggest contacting the HKJC archivist about the griffin categories in the 1930s or read the local newspapers available on-line from the Hong Kong Public Library.
As for the 1932 brooch, I guess it would be the annual HKJC membership badge pin.
