Winner trained by F. Gilchrist, Eller•slle. Zane Grey broke his long run of minor placings to score the first success of his career. Fourth fancy in the betting he returned a good dividend, which was moderate under the circumstances. The favourite Ardmanning was backed down inside evens to win. Zane Grey .was early in the lead but along the back Gascille had assumed command from King Rod, Ardmanning and Parkhurst. Up the 'hill Lanner was a length clear of Parkhurst with Gascille close up and King Rod, Zane Grey and Ardmanning all handy. Over the double in front of the stands Parkhurst was just showing out from Lanner, Gascille, King Rod, Ardmanning and Zane Grey. Along the back, where King Rod lost his rider at the brush rence, Lanner and Gascille were together in front or Ardmanning, Parkhurst and Zane'Grey. Gascille ran to the front approaching the first fence on the hill but fell, while Parkhurst also came to grief at this obstacle. This left Zane Grey and Ardmanning well clear of Lanner and they came Into the straight 50 yards in front of him. Zane Grey outstayed Ardmanning in the run home and won nicely by two and a-half lengths with Lanner, the only other to finish twenty-five lengths away. Time, 5.23.
