Oney Hall (Trevor Henry) got away fifth off the car as favourite White Tiger took command of the field to the :28.1 quarter. Pikachu Hanover never made it to the rail and quickly advanced to take over the lead after the opening panel. After the half in :57, the outer flow was led by a charging Shadrack Hanover. Oney Hall followed the cover in a second-over trip as they clocked the three-quarters in 1:25.2. Pikachu Hanover was still on top, but was met eye-to-eye by Shadrack Hanover on the outside. In the stretch, Oney Hall moved three-wide. The seven-year-old gelded son of Deweycheatumnhowe fended off opponents from all sides to win by a head in 1:55. Tokyo Seelster (Sylvain Filion) charged late along the pylons to grab second and White Tiger (James MacDonald) finished third.
