Mid-day Sun subsequently won the Hardwicke Stakes, one mile and a half, at Ascot, while Goyn 11. accounted for the St. James' Palace Stakes, one mile, at the same fixture. Cash Book won the Newmarket Stakes, one mile and a quarter in May, which is his best performance, while Senor was second in the Irish Derby, run at Curragh in June.

Fair Copy was second to Cash Book iu the Newmarket Stakes and also occupied a similar position in the Jersey Stakes, seven furlongs, at Ascot.
