Though the horses got off to a good start, it was not long before over half of them out of the race. As was expected, College Boy and Sweet Seventeen had got well in front with the remaining horses grouped together some way behind. On a sharp bend, three of the horses leading the group fell, throwing the riders behind. As the rece went on, the track became full of horses without riders. Towards the end, there were only three horses left: College Boy and Sweet Seventeen were still leading with an unknown horse, Tom Thumb, a very long way behind. The crowd was very disappointed when on the last jump in the race, the riders of both horses which were expected to win failed to keep in the saddle (马鞍). Everyone shouted with delight when College Boy continued by himself and ‘win’ the race…without his rider! Tom Thumb now took his time and the crowd cheered as he crossed the finishing line without a rival (竞争对手) in sight.
