Buder of Clayton, Mo., a young amateur who had his first ride on~ the mare, she fought out a backstretch battle with P. T. Cheff s The Deacon to jump a half length ahead of him over the last hurdle and finish drawing away to five lengths in the stretch. Others in order of finish were Mrs. Paul Vents Jarrin John, Dr. Youmans Storm Hour, Calvin Houghlands John Willie, Gilford Dudley, Jr.s Foxy Poise and Dr. Youmans Storm On. The last two were never serious contenders. Foxy Poise was pulled up and Storm On was remounted to finish after losing rider at an earlier jump.
