The derby was run over a slow track and
a heavy wind was blowing up the stretch.

renton.

to the front and set the pace, passing the
stand the first time. Banmockburn and
Mirthful were close. UP. while Martin on
Pink Coat was last by several lengths. After
six furlongs had been covered Littlefield let
down the favorite's head and he went to
the front, running easily and opening up
a gap of two lengths. Martin in the mean
time had Joined issues with the bunch and
was overhauling the leaders one by one.
