The course was in excellent condition and the attendance was a large one. The totalizator handled £18,094/10/-, compared with £11,942/10/- last year. The Judicial Committee decided that Whiphand, ridden by C. T. Wilson, had been interfered with in the Novice Stakes by Jolly Time, ridden by B. H. Brodie.

He was told that if there was no improvement the horse would be recommended for the schooling list. Following are the results:—
