Inkermann took the lead from Conqueror Aster, Cornfield and Lockerbie, this order being maintained on passing the stand for the first time. The three leaders kept their positions passing the milepost, with Inkermann a length in front. At the three-quarter milepost Ezra had increased his lead by half a length from Conqueror Aster, being followed by Lockerbie and Triumph Aster level in third place, and Cornfield fourth. Inker-mann still led at the Monument, but on rounding the bend Triumph Aster came through on the rails, with Lockerbie close up. About a furlong from home Sir Pelleas came through, with The Gay Bird, from which Sir Pelleas held a lead of a length up to a hundred yards from the post. In the meantime Com-field had been making up ground quickly and came through in fine style. It was a great race with Sir Pelleas, and Cornfield snatched the victory by a head, with The Gay Bird half " length behind, in third place. Time, 3 min. 218 sec.
