Victor Urieta Jr. qualified the colt in the trials, but Jorge Garcia picked up the mount for the final. The son of Apollitical Blood posted a 99-speed index, covering the 330 yards in 16.580 seconds to defeat Luziana Man by half a length. Sent off as the 2-1 favorite, the victory returned $6.80 on a $2.00 wager.
