Ottinger was well away in front, with
RichmaDd and Silver Bow almost tied for

condition, owing to a recent accident,
and could not hold the pace. Richmond
pushed past the failing stallion, as did
also Silver Bow, and at the stretch they
both passed Ottinger. Richmond had
made number of small breaks, and this
had lessened his chances slightly of win

had cleared away, Silver Bow was seen to
pass Richmond, with Ottinger a close

finish was made, Richmond being given
fourth place for repeated breaks. Time
