| The largest field to date in the final Classic of the season saw 30 runners line up at the start. Naturally this caused the inevitable problems, and after a false start the running was made by Dauntless. After the hill the lead changed hands several times until 2 furlongs from home when Fleur-de-Lis fell, bringing down Zirza, and this was the cue for Scott to take the favourite to the front. Memnon led at the distance and won by a comfortable 3 lengths in 3 minutes 23 seconds. In a career consisting of 15 races Memnon won 9 and was second in 4 further races, wins included the York St Leger in 1825 and the Ascot Gold Cup in 1827. | Over Round 108% | ||
