The 10-year-old Cam Terrific gelding caught pacesetter Magnum Mike who tried to bottom out the field with fractions of :26.3, :54.4, and 1:23.3 before succumbing to the charge of the eventual winner for owner Joseph Plummer and trainer Jason Walters.

Roberts led Owzitgoin to the winner’s circle at 5-1 for Breakaway Racing and trainer Shaun Callahan.
