Loversall had to be best to win. After acting badly at the barrier she was placed on the outside and in rounding the first turn ran almost to the outside fence, losing many lengths before being straightened out. Under jockey Bobby Jones guidance she soon caught the leaders again and bested Linden Tree in a driving finish. Linden Tree hugged the rail throughout and showed a game performance. Meadow Boy and Miss Potrero were prominent to the stretch turn, then faded away and were far back at the end. The race was worth ,580 to the winner, and the price on the entry was .20.
