From the gates opened the race developed into a duel between Pip (Robert Halleden) on the inside and Nomoredeals (Dane Dawkins).
Pip, a three-year-old bay colt by Perfect Curlin out of Noon It Is held a slight advantage coming into the straight but drifted out a bit causing Dawkins to switch Nomoredeals to the inside.
