STRIKEWHILEITSHOT broke well and settled into a good stalking position on the rail five lengths off the pace. Spieth angled STRIKEWHILEITSHOT to the three path and made a middle move down the backstretch into a swift pace as he secured the lead heading into the second turn while three wide. STRIKEWHILEITSHOT led at the top of the stretch, but flattened out down the lane and could not match strides with the winner, who came through to his inside on the rail, while being nosed out for second at the wire. STRIKEWHILEITSHOT finished 3rd, defeated by two lengths.
