Simon Allard gunned the 4-year-old American Ideal straight to the front from post five, and the pair drilled a :26.1 first quarter before yielding to Rockapelo (Victor Kirby) with a circuit to go. After Rockapelo kept the pace strong through a :54.1 half, Allard angled Street Boy out up the backstretch to avoid being boxed by 8-5 favorite My Delight (Eric Carlson). Street Boy advanced in the breeze to claim a narrow lead from Rockapelo past three-quarters in 1:22.1, but would have to work to put his inside rival away.

Turning for home, Street Boy had dismissed of Rockapelo, but My Delight loomed a closer threat. Undeterred, Street Boy held his ground, pacing strongly to a 1-1/2 length victory. My Delight was second, and Western Delight N (Troy Beyer) emerged from traffic to finish third.

With 8-5 favorite Noble Warrawee (Bob Hechkoff) off stride before the start, Stoebe was able to float Dark Pool into third to stalk Fiji (Scott Woogen) and Dunn Dealin (Matt Zucarrello) through splits of :28.2 and :58.2. Midway up the backstretch, Stoebe found a seam to split the first-over Powerful Yield (Mike Polansky) and the pocket-sitting Dunn Dealin before surging after Fiji nearing three-quarters in 1:27.

After Dark Pool seized the lead at head-stretch and dug in to beat Fiji to the winning post by a neck, Polansky — driver of third-place finisher Powerful Yield — claimed foul against Stoebe, citing interference on the backstretch. The claim was disallowed, and Stoebe earned her sixth career driving win.

Dark Pool, a 14-time winner, is a 6-year-old Cantab Hall gelding trained by Paul Fusco.
