Sunny Dee and Dexter Dunn enjoyed the perfect pocket trip as Shes Pukka N did all the heavy lifting, cutting all the race fractions as the field remained in single file throughout most of the mile. The fractions were :26.1, :55.1 and 1:23.3.

Dexter Dunn confidently moved Sunny Dee, the 3-5 wagering favorite, out of the pocket and attacked Shes Pukka N in the stretch. Sunny Dee won by a measured neck in 1:50.1. The last quarter was paced in :26.3.

Sunny Dee (Sunshine Beach) is owned by Let It Ride Stables and Bottom Line Racing. Mike Hall is the trainer.

Shes Pukka N finished second for driver Tony Morgan and trainer Brian Malone. Queen Of The Pride, trained by Kevin Lare for driver Pat Berry, was third.

Tim Tetrick won five races on the card, including the $325,000 Progress Pace.
