A three-wide stalking J S Bach, dropping in to the $25,000 level after finishing third for $40K last out, dominated this field under Manny Franco, who won his second on the card as he tries to close the gap on Dylan Davis for leading rider. Davis leads 38-35.

Altar Boy appeared to take some funny steps in upper stretch and was pulled up by Junior Alvarado and vanned off.

Mike Maker claimed Altar Boy for $25,000 but the stewards voided the claim.

Order of finish: 1-5-6-4
