Won by threequarters of a length, with half a length between second and third. LATER... It is years since 100 to 1 chances were first and third in an. important handicap. The bookmakers had the time of their lives. Scarcely a backer found the winner, though one lucky, man who named two horses in a special tote pool, got £1775 for an outlay of ten shillings. Pull Over was only entered because a brother and sister had a friendly bet as to whether Palomine, which is owned by Sir Edward Tate, or the sister’s Pull Over, were the better at weights. 'Apart from the family wager, Mrs Robinson only had 40/on Pull Over. The success of Pull Over smashed thousands of double-event wagers on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire.
