white Amphion (Mr. Meyerink) 10 12
There were only five starters for this race for which there were 118 entries. The rain was falling heavily, and the course was inclined to throw up mud. Dispute led the start, and passing the stand for the first time Ichimura and Rio Grande were second and third. Along the back straight Ichimura and Chessy were leading, but near Probst's Corner and then at the Mo-nugent all the ponies were grouped well together. At the corner leading to the home straight Ichimura and Rio Grande were alongside each other, the last-named being slightly ahead. But in the last rush home, Ichimura came on and went to the fore. Rio Grande losing the race by two lengths, Chessy being one length behind Rio Grande. Time, mins. 26secs.
