Pezaro Memorial at Alexandra Park list night. ' After getting a poor run and appearing to be hopelessly placed at the home turn, he stormed; home to win decisively by a ; length from Scottish Charm. •« hich was a length and a quar-! ter ahead of Manawaru. 1 Wag had won the National I Flying Pace, one mile, on the I first night of the meeting, break- ' ing two minutes for a mile.
