Trained by Joe Seekman and driven by Luc Ouellette, Cabana Fever bested the undefeated Luck Of Michelle, who was the leader before her foe edged to the front coming off the last turn. Michelle’s Power, who led the field to the first quarter in :27.1, took third, guaranteeing her entry into the final.

The third She’s A Great Lady elim went to Lady Mattgalane in 1:53.1. Driver Ron Pierce shot the filly to the front in a flash down the backstretch and they loafed to the halfway station in :29.4, which secured her victory. Whycantiforgetyou rallied for second while Betting Machine took third.
