The feature G3 non-winner and lower event was taken by American Traveler of the Tagore Persaud Stable. The animal classified G3 with jockey Colin Ross in the saddles did not get it easy as it was pushed most of the time by second place Republican and the other horses, with jockey Michael Semple astride Republican. The J3 classified animal of the Elcock Stable made a big move up in class to challenge the bigger animals.
Republican, did not disappoint as it dueled neck and neck at times with the winner. Down the homestretch the two animals were barreling down for the finishing line, however it was American Traveler that traveled all the way to take the pole position.
