The Light Horse Handicap was held on Sunday morning under ideal conditions. In spite of the depletions of the squadron through the war, a good field of some thirty riders faced the starter and a fast, hard race resulted.
The start was up Schultz's line of jumps and the course lay over Pons platform to Panama and Marah and thence to the Council road bridge near Octopurs Tree; then to the right over the flats to Dallas' Grave, and by the Family Tree Wade to Westward Ho, Drop and Crawl and across to the well known Barrier loop, over Barrier platform, down the long line of jumps and across to the finish down the Bee Line.
Trooper Hancock secured the first place from Trooper Gibbings, and the card read as follows:—
1 Trooper Hancock 2 Trooper Gibbings
