Yankee Master was second while Icy Atlantic managed third through heavy traffic in a spill entering the stretch when Silent Roar fell near the front of the pack causing horses behind (Classic Campaign, Jersey Kid and others) to either spill or steady.  Buddy's Humor is a four-year-old bay colt owned by Kingfield Stable, trained by Bruce Levine and was ridden by Jose Lezcano.
