Dexter Dunn chose to ease Jack’s Legend N off the gate and settled into sixth position while Shoobee Doo A and No Lou Zing battled through a :26.1 opening quarter. Corey Callahan and Shoobee Doo A continued on their front-pacing mission, reaching the half in :54.2 and continued to three-quarters in 1:22.1. Into the far turn, No Lou Zing left the pocket, Mack raced in second-over position, and Jack’s Legend N was forced to maneuver four-wide at the top of the stretch. Shoobee Doo A braced for the challenge, but Jack’s Legend N unleashed a ferocious closing kick to win by a head in 1:50.2. Shoobee Doo A finished a game second; Mack (Mike Cole) finished third.
