rd, Parole fourth, Bombay
fifth, Creedmoor sixth, the remainder outpaced, strung out in single file.
Vagrant maintained his lead around the turn and just before reaching the
quarter pole, 1:17-1/2, some one, many thought Harry Hill, ran into and
cut Bullion down and dropped back, Harry Hill taking his position, with
Creedmoor third. Before reaching the half mile the race had resolved
itself into a match between Vagrant and Creedmoor. But it was never in
doubt, for Vagrant galloped along at his ease and his big stride, and won
the race, like he has all the others, in a big gallop by more than a
length, Harry Hill, two lengths from him, third, Bombay fourth, Red Coat
fifth, Harper's black filly by Enquirer sixth, Leamingtonian seventh,
Marie Michon eighth, Bullion ninth, Parole tenth and Germantown eleventh.
The quarter 26, half 51, three-quarters 1:17-1/2, mile 1:45, mile and a
quarter 2:11-3/4, mile and a half 2:38-1/4.
