As they descended the hill from the Bushes Barrett and Webb were sitting perfectly still, and their horses rapidly drew clear of Zanzibar, who was almost caught in the Abingdon Mile Bottom by Mamia. The pair had nothing to do, however, with the finish, and when Minting became fairly extended he did not last very long, as he was all abroad a couple of hundred yards from home, and Friar's Balsam, without bring asked a question, won in a canter by half a length ; a bad third. Mamia was placed fourth, and Benburb finished last, Value of the stakes, £1071 10s.
