Race #1: Mad Magic had the fields outright highest late pace figure of 60. Finished 2nd at 26/1 odds and was beaten by just 1 and a quarter lengths.

Race #2: 2yo Maiden race

Race #3: Doublethestyle had the fields outright highest late pace figure of 66. Finished 2nd at 7/1 odds.

Race #4: Neon Tan had the fields outright highest late pace figure of 70. Finished 3rd beaten just 1 length at 12/1 odds.

Race #5: Crushing had the fields outright highest late pace figure of 69. Won at Even Money.

Race #6: TURF

Race #7: Hello Lover and Layers are tied with the fields highest late pace figure of 69. Hello Lover wins at odds of 9/5 and Layers finished 3rd at odds of 19/1.

Race #8: TURF

Race #9: Well Spelled and Private Zone are tied with the fields best late pace figure of 62. Well Spelled won at 14/1 odds and Private Zone finished 3rd at 32/1 odds.

Race #10: Dixie Strike had the fields best late pace figure of 71. She finished 3rd in the Cotillion at odds of 8/1. The slow pace set by such talented rivals probably didn't help her any.

Race #11: Stephanoatsee has the outright highest late pace number of 77. He finished 4th beaten less than 3 lengths at odds of 17/1. Meanwhile, Handsome Mike had the fields second best late pace of 74, the only other horse in the race with a late pace in the 70's, and he was on a clear lead coming out of the first turn. Won at 19/1 odds.

Race #12: Blue Geranium had the fields outright highest late pace figure of 51 and finished 2nd by a length at odds of 4/1.



Basically, the tiring nature of that dirt surface seemed to favor horses who had the best finishing ability from a figure standpoint.
