It was won in a time of nine minutes and 6.4 seconds and by a distance of 2+1⁄2 lengths by 14/1 shot Party Politics, ridden by Welsh jockey Carl Llewellyn. The winner was trained by Nick Gaselee of Hungerford, Berkshire, and carried the colors of owner Patricia Thompson, pink with purple crossbelts, hooped sleeves, and a purple cap. The winning owner collected £99,943 of a total prize fund shared through the first five finishers of £167,386. For safety reasons, the field was restricted to 40 runners. All of the horses returned safely to the stables.
The winner proved a very popular horse with a topical name; many of the once-a-year punters backed him because the race fell just five days before the 1992 United Kingdom general election.
