NSW were the early leaders in this race but were quickly overhauled
by Victoria by the mile mark. Victoria and NSW set the same
rating of 34 but Victoria drew away over the rest of the race.
The media called for the NSW crew to have their nomination
for the Olympic Games withdrawn in favour of the Victorian
crew. However the Australian selector Joe Gould maintained
his faith in the crew. The crew had taken their travel injections
just prior to this race and several had suffered badly from
them including stroke Phil Cayzer. |
