C, Aymes for Mrs S. and Mr J. Withell, he was driven R. J. Jones. Wee Mike, which finished second to Lordship in the Champion Stakes at Ashburton, was the hot favourite on each occassion. In the H. J. Delargy Handicap he carried 1264 tickets 'on the win machine, compared with 428 on the second favourite, Tivoli. In this event he appeared to have had enough when he broke near the furlong when asked for a final effort and he faded to fourth.

Half the field lost their chances at the start. My Share followed Artillery, Torella and Direct Terms in the early running. Took Charge Direct Term* took charge outside the furlong but was soon challenged by Wee Sheba, which , appeared to have the race won when My Share arrived on the scene and wore her down to win going away by a length and a half.
