Favored Athena's Girl, fresh off a win in the Grade 1 Peaceful Way, had the front but was being pursued along the inside by stablemate Two Day Hangover and on the outside by Birr Castle. When the threesome crossed the wire, it was Scott Zeron guiding Birr Castle to her fifth win in six career starts in a 1:53 2/5 clocking.
