They were as fractions as band OF
out OF the race. After a delay that
'eemed like hours liars Cassidy lifted
ne webbing and they went away to
ood start.
Through the strongest Of glasses 1t
ould be seen that Galantman. which
was In the centre OF the track, was the
girst to show In front. What positions
the others had not even the jockeys
cr the patrol judge knows. Looking up
the track they looked like troop of
'avalry aligned. But they weren't
aligned. AS they drew closer It could
be seen that Galantman carrying the
vivid yellow and purple silks of Mr..
Waterbury. was in front. At his heels
were Dream OF Allah. Deadlock and
both OF Mr.. Whitney's representatives.
AS they reached the Turf and Tfe!d
Club Galantman was three parts OF a
length In front OF Bunting and they were
running close together about ten feet
from the rail. In the centre Of the track,
about a length and half back. another
pair were fighting stride for stride. They
were Whiskaway and Dream of Allah.
At the final sixteenth pole Bunting
reached Galantmans throatlatch and
then. inch by inch. he gained until he
poked his nose in front. Then he gained
rapidly and was going away at the end.
Dream of Allah Finishes Strong.
In the final drive Whiskaway died
away to almost walk and Dream of
Allah went on and finished third. a
length in front Of Surf Rider.
The time of the race didn't make
r{& fs.., ..t.r
f,rlongs OF the season. But 1t was real
the impression that Norwich. Miss Joy
or Kai-Sang couldn't have beaten 1t
much.
Although Bunting ran an exception
ally fine race no one present proclaimed
him a champion or a near champion.
All agreed that Norwich would have
been an easy victor IL he had been
eligible to start.
Buntings sire, Pennant. won a Flu
turity in 1913 and then went on and de-
veloped ito a gfreat distance runner. All
who saw Bunting fighting out the finish
yesterday predict that he win 80 on. and
If he keeps sound will be among the top
notch three-year-olds next year.

race, with Grey Lag second Mrs

The race was a hummer from time

The race proved that both Grey Lag

of Touch Me Not or Damask They
we're literally staggering when they
reached the judges. So fatigued were
they that II is hardly possible they will
be able to race again this season.
Sam Hildreth wasn't pleased after
the race. He was peeved because Grey
Lag didn't win it instead os Mad Hat

pulling up and allowing the thrce-year-
old to beat him home.
