Taking charge running down the straight the second time. Whipcord led over the double half a dozen of Sartoline, Strathglass, and Juan. Entering the back straight Whipcord went right away, and, although Strathglass was vigorously ridden over the last half-mile, he could* make little- impression on the leader, who scored/comfortably by half a dozen lengths. Sartoline was a dozen lengths behind Strathglass, with San Sebastian last. ' An inquiry was held into the running of Strathglass,. but the rider’s explanation was accepted.
