The Virginia-bred representative of Mrs. Colin MacLeod had tilings his own way after the first quarter of a mile and this permitted him to stroll leisurely across the finish three and one-half lengths before the charging but failing Hoop Jr.. from the stable of F. W. Hooper. Third award was garnered by Sylvester W. Labrot, Jr.s, Shako, while Don Chance, Sea Bees and Sea Raft completed the field in the named order. Over a slow track and before some 10,000 fans.

The program began on a satisfactory note for "chalk" players when Gallant Mowlee imposed his will on 11 other platers of the ,500 classification. He was prominent from the start, and attained his objective by simply moving into command entering the stretch, then drawing away to a two and on -half lengths score over Punch-drunk. Golden Babe was third. In the second, Ginger Man registered an upset, as he hung up his initial success of the year.
