The horses got off well together, and ran at a moderate 

 pace for about a distance, when Tom Tulloch took up the 

 running, with Fancy Boy and The Traverser at his quarters, 

 the others well up; in this order they passed the Red 

 House, when Brocardo, lago, and Sir Tatton, went to the 

 front, and continued the running to the distance, where Sir 

 Tatton and lago signalled themselves out, and at the Grand 

 Stand made a tremendous rush, Sir Tatton coming in first 

 by half a length. Brocardo four lengths behind lago. The 

 Traverser a bad fourth, and Fancy Boy fifth. Value of the 

 stakes £3,475. 



But in the Newmarket First October Meeting the tables 

 were turned, lago winning the Grand Duke Michael Stakes 

 by a length, »Sir Tatton Sykes second, having swerved at 

 the finish, St Demetri third, and Smuggler Bill fourth.
