All three horses were separated by only a nose at the wire in 1:55.4 with Joey The Jet JT getting the win by the slightest of margins.

Hare Force One (Ross Wolfenden) was a hard fought second. Art Glass (Corey Callahan) was the show finisher.

The two pacers could not be separated in a 1:53.4 photo. Calibrator (Brad Hanners) was a half-length back in third.
