Paul's grey Castigator Keateveu's grey Bill Gore-Booth's grey Asbestos Only five ponies put in an appearance at the start for this long-dista Asbestos led at the start, with Rialto, Peszicato, Castigator and 'V.C. following him in order. Asbestos and Rialto ran together for the first half mile, exchanging the lead two or three times. A little later Castigator ran to the fore, and in passing the Grand Stand for first time Kialto and Custigator were ing neck and neck at the head of the field, Asbestus coming third, Pessicatu fourth and V.C. last. At one mile and a half Custiyator took the lead, but as he neared the gardens Rialto closed up with and passed him, Asbestos and Pezzicato were by this time pretty well played out, and it was evident that the fight would lie between Rialto and Castiya:
