" Haynesfield away in good order, quickly established command, was snugly rated on a clear lead towards the two path during the run down the backstretch, spurted away from his closest competitors leaving the half mile, easily opening things up completely under his own courage, entered the stretch leading a decisive margin, and with rider having kept plenty in reserve, lengthened away during the ensuing furlong, had rider take a quick peek back at both the furlong marker and the sixteenth pole, and having sensed no danger in sight , sat chilly as his advantage dwindled down, completing the race a handy winner."- DRF.
