Lot Essay
A contemporary account of the race shows that there were nine runners at the start though with the excitement starting then the leading horse
"pulled so tremendously, that after going half a mile the drawing rein snapt and he went right away... his rider no longer having any control over him... The runaway horse rattled along at the top of his speed til three quarters of a mile from home, when he bolted... and threw his jockey fortunately without doing him any injury... At the stand Bieram, at the time looking amazingly like a winner, was passed by Rubini and Whale which two ran a severe race till the last eight or ten strides, when Rubini went out, and won cleverly by a length. Bieram struggled manfully to the end and was not beaten above a head by Whale. Galopade and Hokee Pokee were fourth and fifth. There was nothing wonderful in the pace. The Cup (in reality a silver shield of great value and exquisite workmanship) was speculated on to a very large amount"
