Dark Warrior was racing on the bit in the heels of the leading divitim. The Mohawk lying well up, as were Happy Ben and Chichester Cross, the last named on the far rails. He was the first beaten. Then Happy Bent went on quickly, and Dunning took his place, the latter outsider running remarkably, well, but Jugo always appeared somewhat outpaced and Rob could never catch up with his rivals. t was a fair pace that the joint pacemakers, Fancy Free and Philammon, set. but they could never get far ahead of Dark Warrier, which was galloping with short bu. exceptionally quick strides. When a trifle more than half the distance had been covered. Dark Warrior passed Fancy Free, but he did not actually get in front of Philammon till three-eighths from home, when his jockey let him have more length of rein.
