Olympiad broke strong from the No. 3 post as the 3-2 choice and stayed close to early pacesetter Caddo River along with 2021 Kentucky Derby winner Mandaloun through the far turn before breaking clear. Americanrevolution mounted a late charge but had no chance of catching Olympiad, who earned his seventh win in 10 starts. Proxy was third with Mandaloun fourth.
