Leaving from post three, Mach It Paid (Jean Rene Plante) took the early lead as Southwind Avalanch(Garrett Whelan) followed in second with Hide The Cash (Robert Shepherd) tucked in third to post a :26.4 opening quarter.

Windsun Callum hung on through a 1:23.2 third quarter, but Mach It Paid found room at the rail in the stretch to come back on and win in 1:52.1. Southwind Avalanch finished in third.
The Mach Three gelding picked up his sixth win of the season for owner and trainer Isaac Waxman of Dundas, ON.
