| Though rain fell at intervals on 15 June, a crowd of 15,000 spectators attended the Marine Gardens Speedway. A feature of the meeting was the fine racing of Billy Galloway , Australia, who retained the Gold Sash. He was strongly challenged by local riders. In his semi-final heat in particular he had to go all out to beat George Mckenzie, Edinburgh. In the final McKenzie had trouble with his machine. Drew McQueen made a great effort but in endeavouring to pass Galloway on one of the bends he was thrown heavily. This allowed Galloway to win easily. The heats of the Edinburgh Handicap provided some thrilling racing and here again McQueen had bad luck when he fell when taking the lead. In the first semi-final Bill Barclay, Edinburgh, won with ease but in the second Mckenzie chased after the rest of the field. In the last bend he caught them all up and managed to beat Bill Dickie by a yard. The final was a disappointing affair. Mckenzie was run out whenever he tried to get through. This paved the way for a victory for Bill Barclay, Edinburgh, who beat Bill Dickie by five yards. The match race saw Oliver Goodfellow, Polmont, triumph over Andy Milne, Edinburgh. Andy Milne looked a winner until Goodfellow came away in the last bend to win an exciting race. All over it was a good night’s sport though delays through engine troubles prolonged the proceedings. |
