Cape Horn and Zodiac had both run down the field in the English St Leger behind Salmon-Trout, so it was no surprise that Cape Horn was made favourite to beat Zodiac. In the end it was Zarope, in receipt of 7lbs, who gave Zodiac most to do, and was beaten a head with fully 4 lengths back to Cape Horn. |
