Winning trainer George Brennan said, "I had a decent enough cover to get me through the middle to last turn, then I had to go wide with him. It was the same spot I had last week (in the elimination) and you know, funny enough, he was going to win that race last week but I just hit him the wrong way with the whip and he didn't like it and made a break. We were just hoping for a good draw, which we didn't get, and Buzz (trainer Sholty) made a little change with his shoes and he was real good tonight. It was a dogfight to the wire, but it was a good horse race. Putting it all together and for him to still be around in November, that's a great tribute to the trainer and the horse himself; just keeping himself fit."

The $555,000 Three-Year-Old Colt and Gelding Pace saw two closely matched rivals in North America Cup and Little Brown Jug winner Tell All, and Cane Pace and Messenger Pace winner Always A Virgin, each going off at short odds of 8-5. Always A Virgin led most of the way with Tell All close up in second through fractions of :53 2/3 and 1:21 2/5. However, the highly regarded pair tired each other out as both faded in the lane, setting the stage for an upset. 43-1 Artist's View, who was very wide on the far turn, took over the lead in mid stretch and held off 16-1 Watta Hotshot by a neck for the win in 1:50 4/5. It was another 2 1/4 lengths back to 42-1 Forensic Z Tam in third. Tell All finished well back in 8th and Always A Virgin 9th.
