Starting from post seven with trainer Bruce Ranger at the controls, Guy Gets Girl rocketed off the gate to quickly clear his rivals and take command of the Monday feature, trotting the opening quarter mile in :27.4. After slowing things down with a second-panel breather that went in :30.4 to reach the half-mile pole in :58.3, Guy Gets Girl was unchallenged down the backstretch while showing the way to the three-quarters marker in 1:28.

Guy Gets Girl entered the stretch with a 1 3/4-length advantage, and continued to pull away from his rivals down the lane, prevailing by two lengths at the wire after a final quarter that was clocked in :28.2.
