Swiss Knight also sprinted well and could race prominently in the StrathaUan Improvers’ Handicap. Many of the horses engaged today were given easy tasks. Willypay, looking none the worse after his win last Saturday, did pace work as did Belltana, Beau Supreme, Combination, Farmer's Girl, Glamis Lad. Great Guns and No Doubt.
