The 11-1 shot raced about 4 lengths off the pace in 5th early under regular rider Patrick Husbands, closed late on the turn but encountered traffic trouble, angled out for room and closed well to finish just a head back of second place, officially 1 3/4 lengths back of the winner. The Mark Casse trainee, who is Canada's 2007 Horse of the Year and Triple Tiara winner, improved her record to 7 wins, 3 seconds, and 3 thirds in 7 starts, earning $1,380,142 for owner-breeder Eugene Melnyk.
