Trained by Nolan Ramsey and ridden by J.G. Torrealba, Whenigettoheaven went straight to the front in the Meadow Stable, setting the pace under pressure from odds-on favorite Determined Kingdom. After being headed in mid-stretch, Whenigettoheaven dug back in, regained the lead and held off the late surge of Going Up by a head. Defending champion Determined Kingdom held third.
Whenigettoheaven covered 5½ furlongs on turf in 1:01.74 and paid $11.00, $4.60 and $2.40.

Hollywood Walk’s second straight Camptown title also came in dramatic fashion. Tracking leader Bosserati from mid-pack, she rallied up the rail in the stretch and put her head down just in time to hold off Chickahominy. Stablemate Noquestionaboutit finished third.
