Earthlight’s successor in the 2-year-old 6-furlong race is the British raider Cairn Gorm (Bated Breath), who remains unbeaten in three outings.

Quickly in the lead alongside Lagoken (Goken), Prince Lancelot (Sir Prancealot) remained third a head behind an excellent Jubilation (Acclamation), always well placed behind the leading group and second at a length.
Trained in England by Mick Channon, bought back £ 35,000 at the Goffs yearling sales, Cairn Gorm had won his first two outings and had been very brave to keep the lead until the end, previously over the same distance at Newbury.
