Brett Beckwith got away third early with Ladysassin, but was out and rolling past the eighth pole and crossed over to the lead in front of the stands. Ladysassin then got to the half in :56.4 and three-quarters in 1:25.4 before taking her two length lead into the final turn. Ladysassin maintained her gapped advantage to the top of the lane and then cruised home under Beckwith wraps to win in 1:56.
