Race History - Hustlin Hoosier won the first to runnings of the Classic. He did so pretty impressively. The winner of this race usually does so by at least 2 lengths with the closest margin of victory being the 2 and 1/4 length win by Spare Key last year.
Spare Key's run last year was very impressive as he finished in a record time of 1:54 2/5 earning a whopping 107 speed figure.
Prior to that winners of the race where winning with a speed figure near 100.
Favorites do well in this race but the one time the favorite did not do well the longest shot to ever win a Bargain Bowl race won. Amber Net pulled a 41-1 upset in 2007.

That would be great to see Hoosier again at the Bargain Bowl, hope he comes out ok, the grizzled 7 yr has had a hell of a career.

I was real pleased with Brilliant Notation's 3rd place finish he was closing hard and I thought he might be a winner for a small while. Congrats to the connections (elenalag) of Spare Key on their back to back Bargain Classic triumph!

in the stretch the battle came down to Quart Low and Spare Key with Spare Key getting to the wire first securing the top spot in the division. Hope Rugs to Roaches came out of the race ok as he was not himself this time around.
145287 - Spare Key - 23
85315 - Quart Low - 19
144420 - Rugs to Roaches - 12
71125 - Bare Whip - 8
