McKinlays Jerome Fandor, carrying ninety-seven pounds, was the winner. Boydie Davis Dooley, ninety-two pounds, was second and Capt. A. Stanley Wilsons Knight Error, 108 pounds, was third. John Hay Whitneys Jericho, one of the future book favorites for the race and the only American-owned starter, was unplaced under 105 pounds. It was a driving finish. Jerome Fandor beat Dooley, which went to the post at 33 to 1, by three-quarters of a length. Knight Error, 50 to 1, was a length and a half farther back. W. Christie piloted the winner and rode an excellent race. All three placed horses in the Lincolnshire are Irish-bred.
