The Washington, D.C. International race at Laurel, Maryland, features entries from the U.S., Britain, France, and Ireland. Queen Elizabeth's horse, Landau, is a key attraction, but struggles on the rain-drenched turf. Fisherman, an American entry, takes the lead, challenged by Vanessa, a French filly. Despite the soft track, Fisherman, ridden by Arcaro, wins the race, securing a $50,000 prize.
