Causin' Havoc looked very calm in the paddock. Maybe a little too calm. He stood quietly while being saddled and didn't make a fuss. He is a nice looking bay, marked similiarly to his sire, Medaglia d'Oro.

The most striking horse in the paddock, however, was Laver who looked ready to go.

As the gates opened, the 2-year olds looked confused, going this way and that and banging a bit. All except for Dicey Riley who knew just what to do, he took the lead and never looked back. Laver was behind early, but got on track to get second just in front of Troy G who was in the fray after a bit of hesitation. The others weakened after showing some speed.
And then there was Causin' Havoc who didn't even seem to start running until the wire was crossed. In fact, by the time the jockeys got their mounts pulled up, he was near the lead. As his saddle was removed, his ears were pricked and he was ready to go. Unfortunately, the race was long over.
