Jockey Edgar Prado said, "We had a beautiful race. We got off to a clean break and I was able to sit behind the speed. When I had a chance, I took the horse outside and we took over." Trainer Dale Capuano added, "It set up nice. Edgar rode him perfect as usual and we were able to win. That makes it easy. Edgar really knows what to do. He broke him well, had him in good position and he did the rest.

The first stakes race was the $100,000 Baltimore City Turf Sprint for older horses. Lukewarm 3-1 favorite Heros Reward saved ground on the turn while stalking the pace of 7-1 Bingobear, and then took over the lead inside the 1/8 pole, drawing clear to win by a length in 55.90 seconds for the 5 furlong turf event. It was just a head back to 8-1 Mr. Mutter in third.
