With elimination winner Jetblue Volo (Tim Tetrick) rolling off stride before the gate swung open, one top contender was taken out of contention.

Southwind Wrangler (David Miller) was first to fire but yielded to a parked out Rock Hollywood (Trevor Ritchie), who took over at the :27.2 opener. His lead was short-lived though, as 8-5 favourite Text Me (Randy Waples), an elimination winner, made a backstretch brush and hit the half in :55.3.

At the halfway point, Jamieson made the winning move sending Sing Jesse Sing, trained by Ron Burke, up alongside the leader after getting away fifth and they battled it out on top past three-quarters in 1:25 with Sing Jesse Sing eventually pushing ahead in late stretch and holding off a series of late-closers for the career-best score in 1:53.3. Priority Photo (Trond Smedshammer) and Windsun Galaxie (Sylvain Filion) came on for second and third over Text Me.

“I’m not sure how tough the trip was,” said Jamieson of the first over route. “The pace was set up front and they were rocking pretty good. When they started to come back to me, I angled my horse out and coming from a top barn, they had the horse well prepared and he dug in right to the wire.

"I thought I had Text Me early in the stretch and then he wouldn’t go away. Then when Trond zipped off my back, I thought he had me at one point but my horse dug in. I was never sure until about five feet from the wire when we were there.”

Sing Jesse Sing paid $10.60 to win as the 4-1 second choice. The Jailhouse Jesse-Hollybrook Lane colt, who won his elimination last week for his new connections The Burke Racing Stable, Slaughter Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Frank Baldachino, is now three-for-five on the year. Sing Jesse Sing notched his fourth career win boosting his bankroll to $255,191.
