Muscatel showed up at the start, with Portasia and Claimant in Lot pursuit, and this was the order of the field whom they passed the Grand Stand for the first time, Silver Fox, Winter Pore, Joker, and Mad Mullah tailing ont in the order named. Going round to the back stretch Portasia began to show up well and went to the front followed by Joker. By the time tho Bl:c: Rock was ranched, lowever, Muscatel had regained its position closely followed by Silver Fox with Winter Rose lying a good third. So fast was the pace set by Muscatel and Silver Fox coming round the bend and up the straight that the rest of the field was. hopelessly ontdistanced and these two raced home neck and neck; result, a dead heat, Winter Rose a poor third. L
The dead beat was run off after allowing the ponies a breathing space. Muscatel jumped off ia froat but Mr. Moller rode easy
