As is usual on Fridays, the card was poor, with little to attract unless the race for the hunters could be called a feature. An overnight handicap brought out some good horses. John E. Maddens American Derby candidate, Sillies, won this race after racing Holiday into defeat. The two had the race to themselves until in the last eighth, barely a length separating them from start to finish. In the last eighth Harry Shaw came along the rail and might have Avon had not Holiday tired in front of him. forcing him to pull out from the rail. This injured his chances, as he is a notorious rail runner. Gillies showed a good performance by beating older horses to which he was conceding weight. Garbage; was well supported for the race, but he failed to race up to expectations. Bac also retired early. McTaggart claimed interference in the race, but his plea was immediately dismissed.
