It was the largest Gold Cup in many years, and the largest timber race this year with nine starters. They made for a leisurely beginning for the long gallop over 23 fences with Art Dom and Pidou II leading. Both had competed recently in fourmile races —the Maryland Hunt Cup and Oatland's Eustis Cup respectively.

Prince Saran outjumped Hoolee at the fence in front of the officials' stand to be second. Then at the second last fence he leaped to the lead over Art Dom and couldn’t be caught, winning by four lengths.

Mrs. Elizabeth Todd's Art Dom, ridden by John Bosley, was second by a distance over local owner Roy Graham's Man of Rhythm, Don Yovanovich riding.
