The reason I am mentioning "power race" this concept was in Jim Bradshaw's Match-Up 2 book. I am just not sure if this race would qualify as a "power race".

Hi "Dog"
here is a screenhot of the winner's pp's. I have checked 3 races that can be considered power lines for this horse ok?
The Power Line is what makes the horse FAST.
Line 6 we use the 1 mile "backup time" at the stretch call AND position (1st).
Line 4 when we subtract 6.4 seconds( in tenths as these numbers are) and factor in pace of race becomes a very fast line indeed. This subtracting gets us to a distance of 8f where we can COMPARE to the other 8f times shown in the other checked races ok?
I would not consider line 2 for myself ( but it is all good ok) because the
horse stopped like it was shot right after the 2c Mike.
Hope this helps
Richie
