H. H. Cross locally-owned Tranquillity Farm added another purse to its collection when Monks Time, making his initial appearance of the meeting, scored over Die Hard and Doris B., in the sbc and one-half furlongs sprint, third on th program. It was a popular triumph, as the chestnut son of Monks Way was well backed, and the manner in which he performed did not cause them any anxiety.
