Ed Pendleton led the paddock in the third heat and, after a sharp drive through the stretch, won by a half length over Banner Bearer. He stumbled at the barrier but recovered to break away and take the lead ahead of the field.

Will Perkins would part with the two year old Donges if offered $30,000, though a rival Eastern owner has proposed $25,000.
