With Brad Hanners at the controls, Mystra held off strong charges from runners-up Im Won Wine Wiser (George Dennis) and race favourite No Bad Luck (Montrell Teague).

VC Atom N (Vince Copeland) had the lead in the stretch before yielding nearing the wire. Tryst (Ron Pierce) picked up third-place money.

Tony Morgan’s magic number of 14,000 career wins is now only three wins away, after Rolltideroll came on for a 1:53.3 victory in a $15,000 conditioned pace. Sam and M.R. Jacobs, Ron Reed and Crissman Inc. own the four-year-old daughter of Jennas Beach Boy-Shakenithelimit four-year-old. Raquel (Ron Pierce) took second in front of RBs Girl (Tim Curtin).
