Noisy Sam set a new track record of 29.41. The other second round winners were
Hopeful Cutlet, Bugatti and Red Riot. In the first semi-final The Grand Fire sealed an easy win at odds of 4-9 in 29.58, but bruised a leg in running. The second semi-final resulted in Hopeful Cutlet beating Tullaherin Twinkle but favourite Noisy Sam stumbled badly and failed to get through to the final.
280:
The ante-post favourite was Solar Prince who had arrived for the Derby after winning the
Callanan Cup final where he beat Romola's Dante by six lengths. He duly won his first round heat in the fastest first round time of 29.47. However he was withdrawn before the second round and later that evening
284:
In the final
Hopeful Cutlet vied with Tullaherin Twinkle before taking a decisive lead and winning by three lengths. The Grand Fire was slow away and found trouble before running on well for second place.
