Miner's Claim went for the early lead, getting fractions of 24.66, 49.12, and 1:13.68 while being challenged by Cape of Storms and Icabad Crane. Cape of Storms moved up alongside the favorite at the top of the stretch and gained a brief lead. Big Glen, who was unhurried in sixth early, moved down to the inside for room. Cape of Storms tired badly at the 1/16 pole as Big Glen passed Miner's Claim in the final strides to prevail by a neck in 1:44.55. It was a long 3 lengths back from Miner's Claim to Icabad Crane third.
