After
a poor start Uncle Gusengel showed in front but was quickly overhauled by Sarer cen. Never headed. Saracen won, as he liked and for once-not being first favourite-came up to expectations. The rest of the field allowed him to break away and never saw him again. At the last turn Arabian Parrot had come up strongly and was a poor. second. New York and Satisfac- tion Dahlia were badly beaten at the finish.
consideration was poor. Chicago stuck on till the incline where Grey Morn began to draw away. At the 4 mile post Loch Rannoch passed Chicago. As the owners had declared to win with Grey Morn it was all over bar the shouting. Loch Rannoch wound up full of running. Chicago seemed too fat. Grey Morn's time for the first half mile was 1.05 and for the last half. 1.05,1/5,
