.
Golden Vanity and driver Louis Phillipe Roy followed Pan Larceny (Maxim Gaudreault) through fractions of :29.3, :59.3 and 1:28.2 before stealing the spotlight and posting a three length win in the featured event in 1:57.3, equalling his lifetime mark and setting a new track standard for aged horses. Pan Larceny finished second while E F Mustang (Pierre Luc Roy) finished 28 lengths in arrears to show.
