Torrential rain caused many riders to fall. Twenty two out of the twenty six runners failed to finish. The race was won by the 20:1 shot Glenside, a broken winded one eyed horse, ridden by Jack Anthony.

He was followed by Rathnally, Shady Girl and in fourth place Fool-Hardy, the only horses to finish the race.
