The winner garnered ,950 of the ,000 added prize, with Miney Myerson receiving 50 for finishing third. Due to the field of thirteen, Croon was forced to begin her task from outside of the stalls, and although she was the first in motion, the winner, which carried 102 pounds and was ridden by Gordon Arnold, lost little time in reaching the lead. Silver-ette was in closest pursuit, with Preeminent showing the way to Miney Myerson and the others. Leaving the back stretch, Miney Myerson drove into third place, and from then on was always best of the others.
