Doctor went in the front, with Pastrycook and Cloth-
worker in close attendance ; Doubt lying fourth and Nerva
fifth. On nearing the three-quarters of a mile post,
Pastrycook took the lead, followed at short intervals by
Black Doctor, Lough Bawn, Nerva' and Doubt in the
order named. Entering the straight, Lough Bawn took
up the running, with Pastrycook second and Clothworker
third, Musician and Nerva being the next two. Repass-
ing the three-quarters of a mile post, Black Doctor played
up to Musician, and Doubt gradually gained ground.
On rounding the turn into the straight Montague joined
the leading horses, and when near the distance he ob-
tained the advantage, but Doubt, Black Doctor and Mu-
sician immediately closed with him, and Doubt cleverly
achieved the victory by half a length, Montague beating
Black Dootor by a neck, and Musician finishing about
a length behind the latter. Nerva, was fifth ; Lough Bawn
and Pastrycook together were the next two, Trifle and
Clothworker were the last two • the former trotted in
apparently somewhat lame, the latter walked in. Pace
very moderate throughout.
Before the race Mr. Saxon entered an objection
against Musician, on the ground that he had incurred a
penalty of 71b. by running a dead heat with Sharavogue
for a Handicap Plate of 1001. at the Newmarket July
Meeting, the conditions of the Wolverhampton Stakes
stating " that the winner of any handicap amounting
with or without additions to 1001., including his own
stake, to carry 71b extra.
The 1001. was, in the instance named, divided between
Musician and Sharavogue, and although runners of dead
heats are considered winners, it was argued that Musi.
cian was the winner of only 501. or half the plate. Mr.
Hellier, who was the only steward present, decided,
after a consultation with Alderman Copeland, that
Musician was not liable to the additional impost.
MATCH for 501. One Mile.
