When the starting gate pulled away, driver Paul MacDonell did not waste any time getting the favorite to the pylons and on the lead, as Somebeachsomewhere set fractions of 26 3/5, 54 2/5, and 1:21 4/5 while staying at least 1 1/4 lengths clear of 16-1 outsider Santanna Blue Chip in second. Entering the lane, MacDonell asked Somebeachsomewhere for his best and got it, as the favorite opened up a 2 1/4-length lead in mid stretch. 7-2 third choice Moon Beam, who had raced in fifth early, put in a late rally but was no match for Somebeachsomewhere, who cruised under the line 2 lengths ahead in a new world record time of 1:49 3/5 for 2-year-old pacing males. It was another 1 length back to Santanna Blue Chip in third.
