Koochie Ryder J.W. topped the Yearling class pipping his younger half brother S. Oh Boy At Thornbrae into second for owners Jim and Ronnie. S. Angel Of Harlem J.W. won her Yearling class and her sister S. Love Rescue Me won Mid Limit for her owner John Agnew. S. The Kiss J.W. then went onto win Limit.
