The second main track race of the day is in the history books, and while the speed bias may not be quite as dominate as I thought after the first race, it still does appear to be affecting the results of the races.
In the one-mile allowance race for three-year-olds and up, Good Law, Jeter, and Mineswept were the early pacesetters, with Diamond District right behind in fourth. Those four opened up quite a lead over the rest of the field as they rounded the turn, and entering the homestretch, Mineswept blew open the race with a burst of acceleration that left his fellow pacesetters far behind. Good Law and Jeter appeared to be on their way to terrible finishes -- a result no doubt due to the hot pace of :22.89 and :45.99 that they set -- but somehow, it took the closers forever to pick them off, and Good Law did manage to hang on for fourth.
So in the end, it was Mineswept in front by two while stopping the clock in 1:36.59, while Live for Today and Overextended rallied mildly from off the pace to round out the trifecta.
