RACE REPORT
Off 6 minutes late it was left to West Indies to set a strong pace at the main expense of Never Cross, with Vixen's Charm and Cresta Run close behind. This was the order for the first 6 furlongs, at which point the favourite Cresta Run took closer order in second place, with La Douairiere moving easily into third. West Indies was still at the head of affairs approaching the distance, but was challenged by both Cinq-a-Sept and La Douairiere, the former getting up by a neck, with 5 lengths back to the game West Indies in third. |
