Liberty Bay was a hot favourite for this racę and did not disappoint. The start was a very good one and all the cleven ponies got away together in a bunch. Passing the stand for the first time, Tontine was in the lead, followed by Blue Star and White Jade Stag, with Liberty Bay close. behind. Soon after, Liberty Bay took the lead. At the Black Rock Blue Star and Princess Hall were close behind Liberty Bay. Princess Hall passed Blue Star at the Village bend on the way to the straight for the final spurt. In the straight, Liberty Bay ran strongly and could not be over- hauled. Here Wild Life spurted strongly, and when 50 yards from the winning post had caught up with Princess Hall whom he eventually beat for second place.
