Zenno Surveyor was running in the upper class of field for the first time. He jumped off not as fast as his usual. The jockey was aggressive to get a good position. He settled down in 3rd position. He was traveling fine even he got a lot of kickback of dirt. He was guided to outside in the straight. 1 furlong out, he passed the horses in front and looked he had the race, but 2 horses was charging from behind. He finished 3rd place, beaten 1 1/2 lengths.
He didn’t win but he showed that he is well capable to compete in this class.
