The 40th Gran Premio was run on Sunday at the Monterrico track in Lima.
This proved to be a big home advantage to the seven Peruvian runners who finished in the first 8 with the winner being Manyuz. Manyuz's team decided to pass the qualifying races and pay the US$25,000 supplement and the tactic paid off.
Manyuz won by 3 ¾ lengths to fellow local Don't Lose Time second and another local Cofrade third. The fourth spot went to the Brazilian L'Ente Supreme.
