The pony was carrying 7 lbs, under the scale weight, which could not be accepted officially, but a note should be kept for future racing.

Eve Of Reason Wins From Field Of Nineteen

AS ANTICIPATED there were 19 acceptors for the Lantao Handicap confined to "C" class China ponies, and the event was the longest distance run of the afternoon over a course from the two mile post, once round and in. I said in my notes that many were going out to make the field and it proved to be so.

Discovery Bay was leading, at the half mile beacon, but Violet Queen was first to pass the last quarter post and both of them were not among the first three placed ponies. Rudaway tactics did not work.
