Sky Promise overtook Weekend Wizard in the final few yards to win the Grade 3, $150,000 British Columbia Derby by three-quarters of a length.

He paid $4.70. and posted a fianl time of 1:51.71.
He was ridden by Rico Walcott who collapsed after the race and wasn't able to take part in the celebration in the winner's enclosure.
