The first three divisional winners were all sired by Downbytheseaside. Allnight Micki (Aaron Merriman/Tim Twaddle) started the evening off in fast fashion winning the first division of the BSS in 1:51.1. Mrs Teachey (Tony Hall) left from post five to lead at the opening quarter of :26.1 but Allnight Micki popped the pocket to take over and lead through the :54.3 half and 1:22.1 three-quarters. She won by one and a half lengths over Sleepwithoneyeopen (Tyler Smith).

Bowery (Brett Miller/Virgil Morgan, Jr.) took the second division in 1:53.2. After getting away eighth and last Miller moved Bowery around the last turn and followed a four wide move to power by the field, winning by 1¼ lengths over Fear Our Fayth (Michell Cushing).

Chris Page and Ron Burke teamed up to win the third and fifth BSS divisions. Catamaran won the third division in 1:52.3 after getting the perfect two-hole trip behind race favorite, and second place finisher, When You Kiss Me (Smith). Spitting Image (by Yankee Cruiser) took the last division in 1:52.4, leading the entire mile to win by 1¼ lengths over Love Me Hill (Miller).

Fear The Queen (Smith/Kelly O’Donnell) won the fourth division in 1:52.3. The Fear The Dragon filly got away third and after the quarter took the lead and never looked back. She Means Business (Kayne Kauffman) was just a half-length back to finish second.
