St. Vincent, installed the five to two favorite by the crowd of 58,000 racing fans, justified their choice by closing with a great rush to nip Determine at the wire. It was Longden'g ninth stakes victory of the meeting.

In the front row were Gigantic, Poona II and Determine. But at the fin ish it was St. Vincent the win ner over Determine, with Gigan tic third and Alidon fourth.

The winning time of 2.46 4-5 broke the track record of 2.52 2-5 set last year by Sir Greek, a cheaper horse. . c TAKE DT EASY! Nen... Sw.
