Showing Up was all business right away, going right to the front and dueling with Go Between through a half in 47.83. At the top of the lane, Go Between was tiring badly and dropping from contention, while Showing Up surged ahead to a 4 length lead with a furlong to go. Ivan Denisovich put in a late run but was left with too much to do, as Showing Up easily held him off to win by 1 1/2 lengths. It was 4 1/2 lengths back to 10-1 shot Primary in third. The running time was 2:00.09, which was 1.24 seconds faster than the Million over the same distance.
