Hybaric stalked the pace of leader Canteen until the stretch where he surged away from his rivals, drawing off to win by 2 1/4 lengths in a rapid 1:40.01 for the mile and one-sixteenth over the infield Jimmy Durante Turf Course, with a final sixteenth in 5.3 seconds. The course record for the distance is 1:39.67 set by Mea Domina during the '06 season.

Knockout Artist paid $6 and $4.60, while Vauquelin returned $8.20 to show.
The winner is a five-year-old gelded son of Sky Classic bred in Kentucky.
