Third went to the Odessa Farms Eddie J., which, like the winner, had failed to enter the winners circle. It was a lucky score for the daughter of Morvich and Girl o My Heart, which found room on the inside throughout and wore Heros Lady down in the last stages. From an outer position, Eddie J. came with a rush and at the end he was a length and one-half back of Heros Lady and a head before Maple Hussy, which likewise was forced to improve her position at a loss of ground. With the exception of Hidden Dust, which furnished the pacemaking, Heros Lady, with a strong challenge in the first three-eighths, and Cynwyd, which held third position during the run to the far turn, the others were never prominent. Ridden by the inexperienced V. Gruber and favored with the light impost of 102 pounds, the winner ran the distance in 1:07% and paid 2.40 for each investment.
