The ten riunners got away in line, but as usual at this start the inside horses were the iirst to show out when Royal Minstrel and Taillight were iirst to be seen in front, but when the fields took up their running positions the order was Royal Minstrel, Taillight, Golden Time, Silent Acre and Gironde. Golden Time had raced to the front entering the baek ahead of Royal Minstrel, Silent Acre, Taillight and Gironde, with the ultimate winner, Trailer, about seventh position. By the time the halfmile bend was reached Silent Acre had run to the lead followed by Golden Time, Gironde, Royal Minstrel, Taillight, Hamarin and Trailer. The former was still ahead of affairs turning for home from Gironde, Golden Time, Royal Minstrel, Taillight, Hamarin, Terry and •Trailer. Golden Time and Royal Minstrel were tho Iirst to weaken in the iun~ home and then Silent Acre. Just when Taillight looked the winner Trailer Was seen coming fast to be very dangerous.

This race was delayed by the waywardness of Hunter's Morn who was in oue of his "piggish" moods. When the field was first lined up he swung round and gailoped back to the birdcage and after some persuasion by his jockey, S, Anderson, was led back again to the start, but no sooner had Anderson mounted again when the unruly starter again gallopcd back, but th'is time was firrn in his resolution not again to go round to the starting post, eo the starter, Mr W. Price, released the barrier without him. The rest got away with an evcn start for Blygain, Ben Braggie, Peter Beckford, Bunfight. and Solaria most prominent. Round the halfmile bend first came Blygain, Ben Braggie, Peter Beckford, Solaria, while Bunfight and Taro wero abroast next, just ahead of Passion Flower. The first

four round the home bend were Blygain. Ben Braggie, Peter Beckford and Solaria. At the distance Peter Beckford threatened to be dangerous, but his effort was short-lived as he soon faded, allowing Ben Braggie to go ahead and win conifortably by a good length from Blygain, With two lengths back to Peter Beckford and Solaria a moderate fourth. Time. 1.15.
