Competition Report
The ante-post favourite was Heres Seanie, winner of the Coronation Cup at Romford and Blue Riband at Wembley but by the time the final came around he had lost the favourites tag after failing to secure a heat win throughout the competition. Byrne International winner Pearls Girl was installed the favourite for the final after drawing her favoured red box, the British bred fawn and white bitch had only been beaten once and was the only one to defeat Moaning Lad during the competition. It was however Moaning Lad that deservedly won by just half a length after being chased down well by the Irish hope Summerhill Joy.
