Grenadier, rode by Buckle, made all the running himself, and
there is no doubt but lie could have won by a considerable greater
distance if it had been required. Al: three horses came out of the
same stable; and perhaps the trainer, for his own credit, wished all
well, and made a good race. He won by a length. Betting sto 2
on Grenadier. Nothing else talked of.
