18-1 Tasteyville bumped with Any Given Saturday exiting the gate but once into stride, was hustled to the front setting fractions of 23.69, 46.12, and 1:10.24 while as many as 6 lengths clear. Any Given Saturday, who broke awkwardly hitting the gate sat in second, 6 lengths ahead of the rest of the field. Entering the stretch, jockey Garrett Gomez closed the gap on the tiring pacesetter. Any Given Saturday easily dismissed Tasteyville after a brief battle at the 3/16 pole, taking over the lead and drawing away to a 2 1/2 length win in 1:48.31. It was just 3/4 length back from Tasteyville to late-running 25-1 Helsinki in third. It was 1 3/4 lengths more to 11-1 Awesome Twist, who finished 1/2 a length in front of Sightseeing in last.
