In the second race Goggety was a slight betting choice over Grays Favorite and managed to defeat the latter, after both had encountered difficulties.

Tempy Duncan, the second choice, cut a fast pace for a half mile, then Blarney and Zia moved to the front and fought out the finish, the latter getting the verdict by a half length, while Doctor Slack, which had been in the front division throughout, saved third money, Tempy Duncan tiring and finishing last. .
