The entry for the 1946 event was regarded as the strongest to date and some of those who were eliminated early included St Leger champion Star Point, 1945 finalists Gun Music and Tanner Trail and Oaks champion Paladins Charm.[3][4] In the first round the Jack McAllister pair Mad Midnight (Celtic Produce winner) and Miltiades (Trigo Cup winner) both won. McAlinden Cup champion Lemon Flash set the fastest time in round one of 30.06 followed by Shroid Abbey in 30.08. The second round saw the elimination of Miltiades, but kennelmate Mad Midnight won again in 30.19.
