The attendance was good and the sport was excellent, close and exciting finishes being the rule. While no especial feature was on the card, the race for two-year-olds at five and one-half furlongs was looked upon as the best of the day. Restoration was the favorite at even money, while the Corrigau colt Planute was the second choice at S to 0. As the race was run Restoration scored a lucky win. Hogg, who had the mount on Planute, pulled up his mount as the webbing was sprung and lost ten lengths at the start.
