Despite facing facing brisk winds and freezing temperatures, Scirocco Rob left alertly, cut the mile and won in 1:55.1 in line to Dexter Dunn. Lagerfeld sat the pocket and had every chance to go by the winner, but could not and settled for a second-place finish for Victor Kirby. Home’n Dry stayed on the rail and brushed in the stretch to finish a non-threatening third.
