An objection was lodged after this race by Captain Neville, owner of Rivergrass, but was overruled by the Stewards,

Uncle George, for whom there was a quiet tip for the Erst event, was in frac- tious mood, but that the confidence shown in him by certain good judges was not unjustified was shown by the fact that after having been badly"left" at the start of the first event, Mr. Belyan's pony made up ground in really remarkable fashion, and finished third.
