Stormy Kiss and Miss Elsie fought for the lead down the backstretch and around the far turn in 22.80 and 45.85, while the favorite sat just off them in third. Through the stretch, Stormy Kiss still had the lead and brushed off challenges by Grecian Lover and Malibu Mint to get the win by a neck in 1:10.58. Ever Elusive tired at the end and was fifth.
Winning jockey Javier Castellano said, "She's a sharp filly and quick out of the gate, but she actually stumbled the first jump. She made the lead easy, and turning for home, I had a lot of horse. I was worried about (Malibu Mint) and Johnny Velazquez (aboard Ever Elusive). But it wasn't Johnny's day today. I don't know about seven-eighths, it was pretty close today."
