Good start. Won easily, place same. Gibson made his field look common. Lieut. Gibson, br c, by G. W. Johnson--Sophia Hardy, owned by Charles H. Smith, trained by Charles Hughes. There was little delay at the post. To a perfect start, His Excellency was the first to show, closely followed by Lieut. Gibson and Kentucky Farmer, with the field well bunched. When all were straightened out and the race had begun Lieut. Gibson took command from the momentary leader and began nodding off fast quarters with wonderful regularity. The pace rate of speed was terrific the first quarter, being run in :24-1/4, at the end of which the gallant pacemaker let out a link and running the third eighth in 0:11-1/2 was at the seven-eighths pole in :35-3/4. Boland now steadied the big colt by letting him rate right along. The fourth eighth in :12-1/4 carried him to the three-quarter pole in :48, a heart-breaking clip of the first half-mile of a mile and a quarter race.
