The favorite, Tiger Thompson N (Dexter Dunn), was used hard to get the lead, tripping the quarter in :25.1. He then faced pressure from million dollar earner Rockin Ron, who took him on in a :53.1 half-mile. Tiger Thompson N was still on top at the three-quarter pole (1:20.4) but failed to create separation on the final turn.
