Third-place-finisher I’m A Big Shot (Mike Merton) was first to make a move going first-up heading down the backstretch. Double Up N was first to three-quarters in 1:23.4.
As they reached the stretch Talbotcreekwhiskey came flying three-wide to win in 1:54.1. Seeyou At Thebeach (Dan Rawlings) came charging late to finish second.
