RACE REPORT

This was billed as a match between the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Petoni and the third that day, Dilly Dally, while La Sorciere was unplaced in the same race. The race got off at 3.44pm, just 4 minutes after time, and it was Santaria who set the early pace from Domremy, Petoni and Dilly Dally. This order was maintained until rounding the final bend when Domremy felt the pace too much and dropped tamely away. Entering the final furlong, Santaria still held a lead but was strongly challenged by Petoni. The long time leader held on gamely by half a length, with 2 lengths back to Dilly Dally.
