Leaving from the inside post position, Famous Mark (Scott Coulter) took control while outside starter Logan Aas (Scott Zeron) applied pressure to the first quarter in :27 before tucking into the pocket. After winning the early battle, Famous Mark showed the way to the half in :56.3 while trainer-driver Shane Weber sent Adam T first up from fourth. The 3-2 favourite rushed to command before the 1:25.2 third quarter mark and kicked away by five lengths heading into the stretch. The eight-year-old son of Angus Hall-Cool Reins was untouchable as he coasted home in :29.1 for the 1:54.3 victory. Bank President (Simon Allard) closed well to finish 2-1/4 length behind in second while Famous Mark finished back in third.
