Morairtime and Northern Express left alertly for early position from their outside posts, with Northern Express clearing Morairtime through a :27.2 quarter before yielding to 6-5 favorite Jack Vernon before the half in :55.2. Up the backstretch, Jack Parker Jr. moved Morairtime off the pylons from third, and the pair sprinted to a clear lead at three-quarters in 1:23.2. Morairtime cleared easily entering the final turn, but had company in the form of Northern Express turning for home. The 5-year-old Airzoom Lindy mare was up to the challenge, winning by three-quarters of a length for owner James Moore III and trainer Carol Jamieson-Parker. Northern Express (Russell Foster) was a game second; Whimsical Chapter (Tony Morgan) finished third.
