Also scoring for this triumvirate of backers was the Possess The Will–Friendly Fashion filly Fine Wine Fashion, going slower on the engine but winning easily in 2:04.2.

Two-Year-Old Trotting Colts: Team Tetrick/Campbell also won both of the races for trotting colts, with Fashion Farms getting a triple in the overall trotting ranks with the Walner-Tamgo Donato colt Waldo Fashion to be found in front at every pole while coming home in :29.1 to complete a 2:02 victory. Tetrick and Campbell completed their trot sweep with the Father Patrick–Sherrys Lady colt Once In A Lifetime, who flowed home in :29.1 in stopping the timer in 2:03.2 for owners Sherry and Emily Floren.
