The interest in this race was greater than usual mainly because of the fact that Orlando, John Peel's successful candidate for the Champions last year, could not enter for that contest this year unless he carried off the present event. There were several false starts before the fourteen got away with Fair Sport making the pace, attended by Forerunner second, and Arabic third. Atthe Loongfei the leaders were unchanged, but the favourite Orlando, and Precursor had come out from the middle and joined the first five. Fair Sport held the lead to the half mile where it was taken from him by Arabic while Precursor was running strongly in third place, Orlando going easily fourth. Fair Sport, Precwrsor and Avabie were now in turn passed by Orlando, who was showing fine form, and from the Monument home he had the basines entirely in hand and he won by any distance from Arabic, Precursor third, Daphne fourth, Frok fifth, Time 2m, 35$secs.
