At 26-1, Hill Of A Night (Hunter Myers) rocked the first division in 1:55. The daughter of Racing Hill sped off the gate from post five to find a pocket trip behind Dancinbytheseaside. Hill Of A Night sat patiently until the open stretch availed. With an inside move up the stretch, the freshman hit the wire in a new lifetime mark. The 3-2 favorite Chickaboo (Tyler Smith) finished second with Dancinbytheseaside (Kayne Kauffman) in third. The win marks the second BSS leg victory for Hill Of A Night in four starts. Herman Hagerman trains and co-owns the filly alongside Charles Reeve.

Apple Martini (Mitch Cushing) also scored her first lifetime win, doing so in the second division.

Dotties Sea Shell (Brett Miller) rallied for second and Angel Hill (Luke Ebersole) was third. Conditioner Miles Wollam owns Apple Martini in partnership with Cool Cat Racing and Kara Bansberg.

Yankee Nudge (Myers) took the next division in 1:55.4 after settling for a trip behind Vintage Memories. The daughter of Yankee Cruiser popped the pocket in the final turn to easily march home in a new lifetime mark.

Sectionline Seaside (Miller) closed out the final division in 1:55. The 2-5 favorite followed cover headed to the half and quickly cleared the field. The daughter of Downbytheseaside was challenged by All Sass in the final turn but dug in to win by a length. All Sass (Josh Sutton) held on for second while LL Mystress (Cushing) finished third.
