Perfect Bahram appeared to carom off of Pujante with the latter having enough left to go on to take the place. The feature event was almost overshadowed by the sparkling performance of Carr Hatchs filly, Ocean Brief, in the Polka Dot Purse, that was fourth on the card. Basil James moved his hands just once on the daughter of Roman, from Miss Brief, a sister to Brevity and dam of Cable, winner of last years Yankee Handicap, and the trim bay filly scored by seven lengths over Sidney S.
