I also have a little reluctance to match up GG horses with Socal types because the poly makes them look so sustained. I overlooked the neg drop, just careless. I notice that it was not claimed.
See race chart and Segments screen below:

The 1st fraction on the poly makes the 6 look very slow and even though its 2F is best of the group, it still appears to be 4.6 behind at 2C, but in the real race it was only a head behind and only lost by 1 L+nk. TPR wise it was tops, but again the GGF influence is problematical. One other teensy factor is that its a Hollendorfer horse and I probably have too much respect for his moves.
