“J. Robinson of Preston and Dist MCC definitely had an eventful race. He completed 14th after 3hrs 55mins and 36 seconds averaging 48mph. Troubles started between the depot and the beginning, then he stopped for ”prolonged changes” at Quarter Bridge on the primary lap. He fell at Quarter Bridge on lap 2 touchdown on his head together with his ft over the parapet and  needing medical remedy however managed to persuade the marshal he was match to proceed. Lastly he carried Parkinson (AJS) on his pillion from at the least Ramsey to the end on the ultimate lap. He obtained the nicely deserved York Trophy for essentially the most meritorious efficiency.
