It was his fourth win of the season, in the process he earned new lifetime record and pushed his earning to almost $34,000.

Urbana Bayama slipped by at 41-1, starting from post 8 he got away good and followed Bakersfield for a perfect trip and was able to get by the leader by a length in 1:56.4 – $85.00 for Trainer Danny Gill, Mcgwire Sowers drove him to victory
