E. Eastwcod, rider of Crusoe Bay, for interfering with the runner-up, Rangitau, near the post. , , , The committee found that there was insufficient evidence to support the charge, and the judge’s placings were allowed to stand. . There was some interference when the field for the Watkins Handicap was near the half-mile. The committee found that Lucky Cast made a run at this stage, and J A. McFarlane, not wanting to make his rim on Saboteur, eased his mount to trail Lucky Cast. As a consequence Pirate get on the heels of Saboteur and checked Pierre and Hy-Spin.
