The five-year-old gelded son of Omission and Try Come displayed a decided partiality for the prevailing "slow" strip and drove to a game neck decision at the direct expense of the Valenti Stables Lilly Valenti.

With the veteran, John Adams, doing the booting, Osculady was up in the final strides of the six and one-half furlongs dash to prevail over Flatbush by three-quarters of a length. Big Question was third. Osculady paid 9.40 straight. Kenwood, owned by E. C. Roth, unleashed a powerful stretch rally to account for major honors in the second.
