Mate led as a 4 to 5 favorite with Sun Beau at 6 to 5 in a tight showdown. Mate pressed the rail twice but could not clear. Sun Beau appeared likely to win anyway as the race unfolded. Lucky Play finished a distant third as Jim Dandy trailed the field.
Sun Beau, owned by Willis Sharpe Kilmer, wins the Harvthorne Gold Cup for the third straight time, bringing his career earnings to 376 744. The great horse will be retired, matching Exterminator by winning the same stake three years in a row, a feat unseen since 1919–1921 Saratoga Gold Cup runs.
