On I. L. No. 2066, a row of seven houses known as Koon Ma Terrace adjoining the southern boundary of Happy Valley Racecourse and facing Wong Nai Chung (formerly Wongneichong) Road. Address: 2-14 Wong Nai Chung Road.

Due to its proximity to the Racecourse, Koon Ma Terrace has an equine connotation. I think the buildings were demolished in the 1980s.

Thanks and updated. The Dragon Motor Car Co. Garage was opposite to Koon Ma Terrace on Wong Nai Chung Road between Blue Pool Road and Sing Woo Road. 

Based on the 1938 street index description, if looking south, then No. 2 is on the right hand side (diagonally opposite Sing Woo Road) and No. 14 is on the left hand side (almost opposite facing to Blue Pool Road).
