There was a large attendance and the racing was again of a high and interesting standard. The going, while holding, was not as yielding as on opening day.

The big race of the day, the Kawhh Steeplechase, was won decisively by the favourite Riotous from Royal Limond, these being the only horses of the six starters to complete the course without mishap. Valpeen, who returned riderless to the birdcage, was re-mounted by his owner and ridden over the final obstacle for third money. The hurdles was to the credit of the improving Travelling Agent, who paid double figures for his initial success. The Waitomo 'Handicap was won by the first-day winner, Tybalt and the sprint by Princess Star.
