 This motley bunch had gone through 134 races without winning, but one of them had to win this, that honour falling to Tom Bell, who led home a field strung out like three-mile-chasers. Kicked on three furlongs out under his very competent rider, he soon had the race won, but it would not be wise to get carried away, as this was a terrible contest and the winner has been made to look slow over distances beyond two miles before now.
