Under summer-like weather conditions, a huge crowd cheered Foam Crest, admirably ridden by the veteran jockey Tommy Burns, scored in a thrilling finish by half a length over D. P. OBriens Astrologer, with Mrs. E. McGraths Radiologist a length away, third in a field of twenty-six runners. Foam Crest paid 100 to 6, the choice for the race being Joseph E. McGraths Edvina, a stablemate of the third horse, Radiologist, that failed to finish in the first ten. Foam Crest, a bay four-year-old son of Walvis Bay son of Fairway, out of Y. Not, by Cygnus or Greek Bachelor, out of Happy Suzie, by Happy Warrior, was fit after a successful course of hurdle racing during the winter recess, and he repeated his triumph of last year to give his veteran trainer, Cecil Bra-bazon, another important stake victory.
