Sir Issac Newton was not content to sit along the pylons. He rushed to the top passing the quarter in a rapid :26.1. Mack gladly accepted the pocket-trip. Sir Issac Newton and driver Tim Tetrick, continued on the lead and slowed down the pace reaching the half in :55.1, a :29 flat quarter.

I Did It Myway, the 3/2 betting favorite, angled to the outside from fourth and steamrolled up the backstretch in pursuit of Sir Issac Newton. The two hooked horns after reaching the three-quarters in 1:23 a :27.4 quarter..

At the top of the stretch, Issac Newton became leg weary. I Did It Myway remained on the rim and Sprocket rocketed three-wide Mack waited for room along the pylons. I Did It Myway powered to the top in deep stretch and won by a hard fought length in 1:50.3. He paced the final quarter in :27.3 and paid an even $5.00 for the win.
