Westway (3), Eric Ledford, and Thin Blue Line (4), John Campbell, dead heat in the Hayes Final for 3yo colt pacers.
Out of the startng gate, it was American Fury (Michael Oosting) first to the quarter mile mark of :27.3, followed by Hawaiian Hunk (Tim Tetrick) and Arts Day. Past the quarter, driver John Campbell had Thin Blue Line on the move from fifth, flushing out Arts Day just past the :57.1 half, which saw American Fury get there first. At the 1:25 three quarters, American Fury and Arts Day were about even going in to the homestretch. Fanning out in the stretch, Campbell urged Thin Blue Line up to engage the leaders and those three were joined by West Way (Eric Ledford) and crossed the wire almost together.
