Binding Tie ran as if best of those she met, for she flashed into the lead after the barriers release and showed the way for the entire race. Legal made a game effort to overhaul her, but failed by the margin of a length. Sennings Iark headed the others and landed in third place.

Gold Stone, a former winner in her only former start, was also considered well, but any chance that racer might have had was spoiled, when Hoag K-rmitte l him to go wide on the turns and finally eased him up- in the stretch. Sennings Park again showed bad IKtst habits and for a space, when he bolted through one of the .track gaps, threatened to make a runaway in the stable yards, but he was caught by several grooms before he had opiKirtunity to go far.

Backers of favorites had a disastrous exiierience, the choices in the first four races going down to defeat.
