Foghorn, yrko was outsider of .the sis runners and jaid a dividend just tinder doubled figures. .Foghorn was'lasff all the way. -to the straight, but? she finished like- a shot down, the outside and sped past the contending leaders to score going away by a good.neck. Thi race also. provided ■. the first win, for her pilot, G. F. Dick, who is apprenticed to her trainer, W. Hawthorne, and; has not long been riding in faces.
