Tommy Dodd was the favourite for the Summer Handicap, but it was a great betting race (states the Dominion), Clandhu and Good Sport being the on’y real outsiders. Grand Knight was responsible, for a brilliant performance. He was well placed all the way to the straight, but was disappointed in an opening and had to be pulled right back to the rear of the field. Over the last furlong he simply flow past them and was nearly a length to the good at the post, and going away. The distance suited Pelham much batter than sprinting, and he was always in the picture, running a very good race. Plioenix Park attempted to win all the way, but was not good enough. Tommy Dodd ran a good race and was always handy, but did not get too good a run in tho straight. Good Sport ran a good race, and at ono stage, with about a furlong and a-half to go, he was nearly in front. He finished fifth. A lot of money went on the champion hack, Kilbronsyth, but class made a wonderful difference, although lie ran a fine race. Clandhu ran a greatly improved race; in fact, good races came from the whole neld, as they were all in a heap as they went past the post, with the exception of the winner. WINNING OWNERS.
