The stretch drive of the $332,000 U.S. Pacing Championship came down to a clash between older pacing titans Artistic Fella and Mister Big. When the dust settled, Mister Big, driven by Brian Sears, successfully defended his title, winning in 1:48.2. Mypanmar finished third.

Mister Big raced from off the pace early for trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. as Special Report and Larry Stalbaum fired for the lead from the outside post. Artistic Fella and Tim Tetrick, starting to Stalbaum’s inside, also left from post eight and moved to the front after a :26.1 opening panel. On the backside, Sears advanced Mister Big first over, reaching the leader near the three quarter mile marker (1:21.4).

In the stretch, Artistic Fella and Mister Big engaged in a thrilling battle as the two horses matched strides. It was only late in the mile that Mister Big gained an advantage to win his fifth of the season. Owned by Joseph Muscara, the Grinfromeartoear five year old increased his career bankroll to $1.35 million.
