Start good and slow. Won easily; second and third driving. MORVICH ran as if he outclassed the others, was kept in the lead under hard restraint for the first mile and drew away in the stretch to win under a pull. BET MOSIE was ridden wide on the turns and lost much ground, but closed a big gap and finished gamely. JOHN FINN raced prominently all the way and finished resolutely. DEADLOCK raced well, but tired in the last quarter. MY PLAY ran well, but finished quite lame. STARTLE was one after going three-quarters. BUSY AMERICAN broke down in the first quarter.

Grainger was named president, Price racing secretary and Winn vice president.
