Exaggerator gained interest and gained on the leaders rapidly. At the top of the stretch Exaggerator went on by Uncle Lino, Danzing Candy ran out of gas, and quickly drew off to win by 6 1/4 lengths in a final time of 1:49.66. Mor Spirit gained ground from running in fourth up the back stretch and third around turn to get the place 2 1/4 lengths in front of Uncle Lino. Danzing Candy was another 4 3/4 lengths further back for the fourth spot. The first four finishers earned Kentucky Derby Points on a scale of 100-40-20-10.
