Cymbals poor showing in this race was charged to jockey Walsh. The closest finish of the afternoon came with the running of the third race, in which Richard Reed was nosed out in the closing stride by Melissa at the end of a sensationally contested stretch drive. II. G. Bcdwell made amends for Kichard Heeds defeat by taking the purse in the closing race with his recently acquired Righteasy after that filly appeared a forlorn hope, so far as winning was concerned.
