Default Loose horse drawing off

I'm was making figures for June 16th at Penn National right now.

There are 7 dirt races on this day. Here are the variants:

Race 2: -36
Race 3: -17
Race 5: -15
Race 6: -17
Race 7: -16
Race 8: -17
Race 9: -17

Obviously -- something is seriously messed up with race #2. Every other race on the card is within 2 points of each other. But race #2 is almost 20 points too fast.

I look at the chart for race #2 and notice that one of the jockeys fell off. I was thinking that maybe an outrider tripped the timer early when they went up the stretch chasing the loose horse.

That isn't what happened though. The loose horse that dumped it's jockey at the start dominated by a huge margin and he tripped the timer early himself. Here's the video of the race.

Huge performance by the riderless horse. He ran the 1:10.09 official final time... not the actual official winner of the race who was falsely given credit for that time.
