Game Show went off as the favorite, but she encountered traffic trouble and some bumps and could do no better than third. She didn't give up, however, so should come back strong. Glimmering Hope seemingly benefitted from experience, as she drew off to a professional 3-length victory. Glotona closed into an extremely slow pace to get up for second.
