nut The Bishop (Mr. V Morling)

After a good beginning The Bishop made the pace for the first two quarters 32s, 1.4% then while going very strong in the thi lap he suddenly apostasised by first swerving and then going to the clean right-bout his Jock sat finely on but the field was 100 yards away before he became orthodox again. Deerfoot replaced him as leader and passed the next two marks in 1393, 2.153, Enigma and Tom Tit keeping close up. Entering the bend all five came into close order doing the five quarters in 2.492. The favourite (Deerfoot) once again, elongated himself and led into the straight and also at the 13 miles (3.213) with Gross Khan hard by. Enigma was now brought finely up, and racing powerfully down the last furlong beat Deerfoot by three lengths, Na Na coming up alate third by six. Time, min. 52secs.
