Major Homer (Jody Jamieson) established the lead off the gate while even-money favourite Speckled Door (Doug McNair) rolled up and settled into the pocket spot through a :28-second first quarter. Major Homer continued to lead the way through middle splits of :57.4 and 1:26.2 with Roger Mach Em (Paul MacDonell) advancing first over from fourth and P L Haymaker (Trevor Henry) following his cover. However, Filion had positioned Boomboom Ballykeel third over from the backfield and sent him three-wide into the stretch to sweep past the field for the 1:56.2 triumph. Roger Mach Em finished over one length behind in second while Major Homer was third over Speckled Door.
