 The third round of heats were run under free-for-all conditions but the ‘Bathurst Bulldog’ could finish no better than a dead-heat for fourth and was fortunate to make the final field.The 1974 Interdominion is best remembered for a crash at the beginning of the race that left only four winning chances.With many of his main rivals out of play Hondo Grattan held off the finishing challenge of Adios Victor with Bret Armagh third.
