Results posted by Catalina to cover for Dusty who still has ongoing technical problems.

RUFFIAN alertly breaks from the gate and establishes a nice lead, with TIGER DANCER in hot pursuit. The remainder of the field remains tightly bunched through the first turn, and then gradually losens up, with CATALINA briefly leading the stragglers but then slowly falling back. In the backstretch, STARK finds another gear and passes the fading TIGER DANCER as well as RUFFIAN. But, his bold move has inspired DUSTY and CIGARSHOP, who almost immediately wrest the lead from STARK. While the two front runners battle for the lead, STARK rebreaks and with the audience loudly cheering, STARK manages to fly past the much improved DUSTY and beat the tenacious CIGARSHOP by a nose. DUSTY comes in third, ten lengths behind CIGARSHOP, and RUFFIAN completes the superfecta and claims The Precious.
