But five took part in the event and after Sunvir, one of the favorites, had made the pace to the stretch, Impish moved up on the outside to take command and was free to race in front to the end. Yonkel, well backed, was unfortunate when, after saving much ground by clinging to the rail at the stretch turn, was shut off at midstretch and forced to take back slightly. Had it not been for the interference he might have given the winner an argument. He finished second, while Prince Tokalon was third. Sunvir tired badly in the stretch, while Kincsen, the only other starter, trailed the field throughout. Prince Atheling, the favorite, had little trouble winning the sixth race, which was at one mile. The horse was ridden with confidence by jockey W. Wright, who remained close to the pace from the start and, passing Outbound, the early leader, when he began to tire in the stretch, held sway to the finish to win by five lengths. A strong stretch rush carried Totem to second place, while Outbound barely lasted to save third money from Portmanteau. Among the many visitors from New York were Herbert Bayard Swope, John F. Curry, chieftain of Tammany Hall, and Phil Dono-hue, Tammany treasurer.
