Run at a cracking pace throughout, the time of 1:08,79 set a new race record, improving Duc du Orleans'1980 time by 0,30 seconds. For Jean Heming it was an unfortunate outcome when the first two placings were reversed, for had Main Man kept the race it would have been the Rand trainer's fourth Smirnoff success in six years – having won with Smackeroo in '81, Moccasin in '83 and Shooting High last year.
