The undercard feature was the $65,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes, a 6 furlong sprint for older horses. 2-1 favorite High Blitz had a bumpy start but once he got into stride, tracked the early pace of Razor through a quarter in 22.18, and then took over on the turn to draw away to a 2 length win over late-running Wild Jam in 1:09.14. Winning jockey Chuck Lopez said, "Justin (trainer Nixon) told me not to get in a speed duel. He was running easily early, and we put away Razor. After that, Wild Jam was running on in the stretch, but I got my horse to switch leads and he leveled off very nicely. It was a great race from him."
