Chaysen' Alex trailed the field early but came with a powerful run in the stretch to get up for the victory. Race was marred by the breakdown of Inhaler. On the far turn, Inhaler, who stalked the pace early, was starting to get pulled up by Dominguez and bearing out, causing favored Cires to be taken extremely wide. Cires was able to get by Inhaler, who then took a bad step and fell to the ground. Dominguez rolled over a couple of times but did not look to be seriously injured. The horse broke down in his left front, with broken sesamoids along with other injuries, and was euthanized on the track.
