Lady Nuttall's Guinea Gap, a 28-1 chance, ridden by Robert Jones, won half a length from Voltus, whọ was in turn a similar distance in front of Rosecrag with Gunboat, Hans Sachs, Finalist and Galvani next in order.

Over Coat did not quite stay this severe almost mile. In a way it was a race of disappoluitments-many big events this year have been--but we must nut ylihald credit from Guinea Gap, who has been placed every time ho has run this season, and this was his sixth outing.
