All Irish made the running from the outset and carried on in until reaching the sodwall at tho foot of the straight, where Huskie joined issue with him. All Irish finished slightly in front of Huskie, with Windsor Lad and Valpeen at short intervals behind them. All Irish and Huskie executed their work in solid style and look in great heart.
