Off at odds of 8-1, Stable Genius settled into post five in the field of seven trotters with Doug McNair in the bike for Stephen Bossence. Among the field of contenders, O'Brien Award winner Gaines Hanover (Louis-Philippe Roy) was coined the bettors' choice from post six.

Without missing a beat, Stable Genius trotted down the lane to a 1-1/2-length victory in 1:53.3. Mrmayor Hanover (James MacDonald) followed the pocket trip to second and Midnight Miracle (Scott Young) was a start-to-finish third. Gaines Hanover maneuvered in the stretch from sixth to finish fourth.
