A field of six older sprinters took to the main Polytrack in the $125,000 Bold Venture Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs. 5-2 second choice Gangster sat at the back of the field for the first half mile, well off the quick pace of 45.44 set by 8-5 favorite Just Rushing. Through the stretch, Gangster closed three wide to just get up by a neck in 1:16.02. It was another neck back from Just Rushing to 5-1 fourth choice Museeb in third.

Winning jockey Todd Kabel said, "I had a lot of horse underneath me, I was comfortable. I know this horse always shows up with a big run down the lane and it was just a matter if they were going to stop or not."

Winning trainer Sid Attard, who trains both Gangster and runner-up Just Rushing, added, "I want both to win for both owners I hate to run two horses together because I want both to win. (Gangster) always tries. He deserved to win a stake."
