After the race, the elated Mr. Schwartz said that the colt would be sent to Pimlico on Monday and added that Ussery had told him that he only used his whip once, getting an immediate response, then was satisfied to handride the rest of the way.

Nah Hiss trailed until roused nearing the final bend, passed Promised Land just inside the furlong pole, taking the half length lead that he retained. Ussery made it three saddle victories for the afternoon when he steered N. I. Asiels Bit-O-Sport to a front-running score over Towson Town and Bushers Choice in the sixth race.
