Defending champion Red Zeus ($3.60)), ridden patiently by Scott Stevens, held his title and became the first three-time winner of this race,  by defeating close second favorite Rocked Twice by a half-length with Cavour third. Silvanus, who was stepping up from the claiming ranks and who maintained the lead until late in the stretch, finished fourth in the six horse field.

Eikleberry got his second training victory of the day when Scrap Iron ($9.60) and Daniel Vergara out scraped a tough, front-running Heber in a nose-bob photo. The 4-5 favorite Two the Punch could not mount a rally against the top two and finished third in the field of six.
