Just a tick behind was the Stay Hungry-Swift N Shout colt Swift Operator, not only trained by Erv Miller but also driven by the two-time North American UDR champion.

Two-Year-Old Pacing Fillies: Hallelujah Hanover had the quickest clocking in this division, as the daughter of Captaintreacherous-Hana Hanover (a $1.2 million-winning world champion) dashed home in :57.2 - :28 to complete a 1:56 victory for trainer/driver Ray Schnittker and Grozcona Racing Stable LLC.

Two-Year-Old Trotting Colts: Trainer/driver Schnittker also took honours in this section with the Muscle Hill-Girl With A Past gelding Civil Union, who fronted his field in 2:00.4 for Schnittker and co-owners Paul Bordogna and Mary Kinsey Arnold.

Two-Year-Old Trotting Fillies: The quicker of two divisions went to My Belfast Angel, a Muscles Yankee-Vixen distaff driven to a 2:02 win by Matt Kakaley for trainer Andrew Adamczyk for owner Joseph Meaney.
