RESULT OF THE WHORING HANDICAP.
Syphilis... 1
Chancre ... 2
Bubo ... 3
Immediately the flag dropped Gonorrhea began making the running for Injection (a brown colt out of Syringe). Coming round the Chordee Bend, Poultice showed well to the front, but when once in the Straight was soon left behind.
They passed the Grand Stand in the following order: Syphilis first, Chancre second, Bubo third, and Suppuration a bad fourth, closely followed by Unction. Black Wash, Lint, and Copaiba. Testicle pulled up much distressed, Capsules bolted. Doctor's Bill (extra weight) came in last.
The Sporting Prophets say that if French Letter had not been scratched she would have altered the result of the race.
