lead of a length and a half while Real Jam which had held up the start for over ten minutes because of his unruliness at the post got away winging but was taken up by Jackie and brought down close to the in ¬ side rail He rushed up on even terms with Laddie Stone in the first threesixteenths and from that stage of the running until the finish a head was the greatest margin separating them at any
