Brokers Tip, of course, headed the money-winning horses with 8,925. His Kentucky Derby victory assured him of first place among the horses. Head Play was second and the swift filly, Miss Patience, Bashfprd Manor Stakes winner, topped Osculator, Clark Handicap winner, with ,590 to her credit.

Corbett rode fifteen winners and E. Porter twelve. Clyde Van Dusen was the leading trainer with seven winners.
