Danny Birt holds the ownership papers of the six-year-old as he took his $3,500 assignment.

Driver Gilles Barrieau had a driving triple on the day with House Edge Hanover (1:54.2) for trainer Ron Matheson, Starship Glyde (1:55.1) from the Earl Watts stable and with Bethereinabit (1:57.3) for conditioner Ashley Gamester.
