It was the first race for the year for Surprise Boss who is a four year old son of War Dancer. Surprise Boss started well and was ridden to the lead by Trevor McCarthy without hesitation. His four previous starts, Surprise Boss came up short and finished in 9th place in the race before March 19th which probably led handicappers and the public to dismiss him from having a chance of winning the race.

When the race broke and the horses came out of the gate, Surprise Boss was at odds of 35-1 and finished at just that receiving the top prize with McCarthy aboard. Trevor McCarthy rode a beautiful race and didn't give up on him keeping his head down for the almost entire trip until finishing the race.
