For the Kilasarnock Handicap "A" Class there was a field of six ponies, twa being from the "Mouse stable, and two from the "Leaf" stable. Neither of the latter were much fancied, but the other four ponies were heavily backed. The ponies got away to a hesitating start in which Strathfarrar got the advantage. and held it right to the end, coming in first by six lengths. Country Mouse, second pony away at the start, kept his position right to the village bend when he began to drop back.
