This race via matchup

Power Broker is pace of race: 23.1-46.3-111.1-148 (times are in fifths-last race extended to 9F +6.2 + 141.3 = 148.0)

PB fought for early in last, could get challenged by the 2 and 5 at 6f point, but PB is faster than 2; PM the 5 can get lead at 6f, but mile time and finish time look like he cannot power past PB. I think those two lock horns Golden Soul wins. Verrazano can't press off recent at this pace; he might press off one turn mile at GP earlier this year, but if that happens then you have the 2, 4, 5 and 7 all at each others necks around 6f - 7 f mark in this race.

I went back to the Derby chart for Golden Soul info. If PB withstands the pace my exacta is GS and PB.


Good handicapping.
