18 runners went to post for the seven-furlong race, on an afternoon that had all the highlights of an Autumn day.  There was warmth in the sun and the turning leaves left a golden hue on the Knavesmire, however heavy rain in the run up to the meeting had turned the going to soft.

Another Baar, ridden by Andrew Breslin and Danzan, partnered by Amie Waugh were sharing the lead after the first furlong.  Challet and Rhys Elliott raced keenly in third, with Bajan Bandit under George Bass on their inside, one off the rail.

As the runners joined the round course at the five furlong marker, Another Baar extended his lead by a length with Danzan and Challet remaining in second and third, but with two and half furlongs to go Mysteryofthesands and Frank Larson started to make a move forwards, while Another Baar just started to drop back a bit.

Inside the final furlong, On The River, ridden by Aiden Brookes and trained by Harriet Bethell, made a run for home and comfortably overtook Danzan, going on to win by two lengths at the line. Danzan finished in second, where he had been throughout the race and Bajan Bandit came home in third.

The eighteen points took the winning jockey into second with 31 points, but he remains 29 points behind William Pyle, who had his first ride in the series since injuring his wrist in a fall at Beverley back in June.  Sam Feilden finished sixth on Mostar Dreams and these vital two points took him into a clear third with 29 points.

The penultimate race in the series takes place at Catterick on Saturday 19^th October and is the first race on their early morning card, due off at 11am.
