The race was held on June 8, 2013.[1] For the third consecutive year, the race was run without the Triple Crown being at stake as 2013 Kentucky Derby winner Orb was defeated in the 2013 Preakness Stakes by Oxbow.
The race was won by Palace Malice in 2:30.70. Oxbow finished second, Orb third, Incognito fourth, Revolutionary fifth and the filly Unlimited Budget was sixth.[2]
The official attendance was 47,562.[3]
