(Owner) 0 Blossom, with her 20sec start, made the best of the good-going track, though she hardly seemed to settle down to her work at first. Lioness left Dexter and went in Eursult of the leader, but Tarn O'Shanter gured conspicuously in the rear throughout. Lioness caught Blossom at about a mile and a half, and appeared to be coming away, but Blossom sticking gamely to her work, there was never much daylight between the pair. Iv the last two rounds Blossom's driver tried his best to pass his opponent, and the chestnut appeared to tire a bit, but she had enough left in her to struggle home first by half a length, after the best race yet seen on the Park track. Blossom broke close to home. Time, 9min 21* sec Totalisator—293—94— £2 165.
