Down the course for the last three hundred yarda Sir Bahumoris and Borneo Chief raced side by side, both jookeys fotoing their mounts. Sir Beaumaria tried hard to stall off the challenge of Borneo Chief but failed to do so, the latter in the last few strides as- serting his superiority by a short head. A length away Sweet Pea was third, and Jambolini- six: lengths away, was last,!
