The $100,000 Teddy Drone Stakes featured a field of 8 older horses sprinting 6 furlongs on the main track. Rockerfeller took the lead soon after the start and battled for the lead with favorite Joey P. through fractions of 22.32 and 44.62. Entering the stretch, Castro asked Rockerfeller for run and got it, as he pulled ahead of the favorite through the lane to win by 3 3/4 lengths gate-to-wire in 1:08.09. It was a long 4 3/4 lengths back from Joey P. to Who's The Cowboy third.

Winning jockey Eddie Castro said, "I was supposed to sit off the early speed, but nobody went to the front and we ended up on the early lead."
