Winning driver and co-owner Jody Jamieson said, "I was anxious that's for sure. I was trying to buy my way out of the two-hole at the head of the lane and George (Brennan) still had some pace left and I had to wiggle out of there. He had kind of an eventful week. He fell down training this week, so he is just kind of living the Shark Gesture dream from last year and you know he raced huge again. (Roberts Rage) was all over my back on the last turn and you know Mark (MacDonald) did the right thing. I figured he'd come up first up on the favorite. He drove the horse smart and ended up third."
