| It was widely expected that Blick Bonny would follow up her Derby win quite comfortably, although she was odds against. In the event she only managed fourth place behind Imperieuse, the 2 length winner, who beat Commotion in 3 minutes 25 seconds, while Tournament was a further neck away in third. She had already won the Lavant Stakes at Goodwood in her 2 year old days, and landed the 1000 Guineas earlier in the season. | Over Round 110% | ||
