At the bend of the homestretch, DavU Craig had dosed on the parr maker and was showing in front by a slight margin. At tbe furlong post he had shaken oil Waterbass and when Bu.xlnn at-tempti d to ionic through on tbe inside he inline diatelj blocked him, which necessitated Gainer being taken up and sent to the outside. i,. liner hung mi well in the anal drive, bat could not quite get up ami the S Ik t r colt heat him hy a scan! length.
