On Saturday evening at Salisbury Bobby Kennedy was well supported into favouritism for a twelve furlong handicap, hoping to follow up his Bath win. Jockey Laura Pearson was the first to admit that she got there too soon, having made very rapid headway from the 3 to take up the lead before the furlong pole. Bobby Kennedy then kept on but was not able to hold the strong late finish from Fleurman under Hector Crouch, who by the line had prevailed by a length. Bobby had to make do with second place for the third time in four outings this season, and with a better timed run up the hill he might have had another emphatic victory as he had managed at Bath.
