Wilson then assumed a lead of three lengths before taking the Galatine gelding under restraint. Doc Gaiety and Chloris were second and third around the turn. At the half Wallace went to work on Chloris. She responded gamely but was unequal to the task of cutting down the Kings Court lead under her impost of 118 pounds. She tired in the final drive and Fast Mack got up in the closing stride to take the second portion of the purse. Sultry weather again was the order but the crowd was the largest of the meeting though not up to expectations. There were about 7,000 in attendance.
