Tryst was a 1:54.3 winner for Ron Pierce in their Tender Loving Care division.

Tryst remained perfect in her brief career in capturing the first of the $12,500 divisions. Driven by Ron Pierce, Tryst took command at the half and held off Rev Me Up for a half-length victory in 1:54.3. Cee Q held her ground for third. Tryst paid $3.80 as she extended her streak to three wins.
