Yes, it holds the Sackville. It fits just the same, just not covered higher on the sides as the full 137 basket. Hobbit sized at 68.5. I have used brass clasps to hold it in place on the 137. Never any issues w/ it, if clasped down. With the racing basket, even with clasping it down, it will bounce around some and reposition. Not falling out of the basket walls though. Not a show stopper, but I've since been using either the Cap'n Hook net or a John's Irish Strap over the top of it.
