Ed Hensley rated her to a :58 half, and Shoot The Whiskey (Travis Cullen) put her under pressure to three-quarters in 1:25.3 after tipping first-over from third. Major League N maintained her cushion around the final turn and held off Shoot The Whiskey by a half-length in 1:54.2. Randomirogeo (Travis Henry) finished third, five-and-a-half lengths behind the winner.
