| After a false start the early running was made by the Duke of Leeds unnamed Whisker colt until they reached the hill. At that point Bedlamite took over closely followed by Tarrare and Mulatto. At the distance a good race ensued between Tarrare and Bedlamite with the former getting home by 1/2 a length in 3 minutes 25 seconds. Tarrare was lightly raced, contesting only 4 races and winning just two, one of those by a walk-over. | Over Round 122% | ||
