While the early lead changed hands several times, Hunter Myers was content to save ground with Torrin Hanover, not even looking for backside cover. When Myers finally unleashed him, the 7-year-old Well Said-Transference gelding easily looped the field and triumphed in 1:53.3, 2-lengths better than Captain Cash (Jim Pantaleano). Carolina Beach (Aaron Merriman) completed the ticket.
