Happy Landing (Mr. Davis), a wurm favourite, failed to place in the Killare' Handicap, wasting too much energy up the back straight after having been caught napping at the start. Sydney Lad (Mr. Hearne) and Derby Day were always to the fore but Pumper- nickel came up well in the last fur- long and very nearly pulled off a sur- prise win from Sydney Lad.
