When it came to serious business. Homeward shot out and, finishing full of running, comfortably beat Luminate and Min Bells, who finished together, and recording 3min 30sec—a useful run, as the dirt track was not fast. Five furlongs from home Min Bells took the lead, and set a livelier pace; but on reaching the quarter mile, Homeward covered the last half in lmin 6 3-ssec. without being unduly bustled. Luminate finished strongly to reach Min Bells at the post, their times being 3min 32scc and 3min 35scc respectively.
