Steve,
I didn't do this race and I don't have the card so it's hard to answer some of the questions. But let's take that 2 horse and look at him differently. Here's the two pacelines with the adjustment for BL which are not in your numbers now and for distance.
Madam(1) 48.8 114.1 142.2 I adjusted call and final for BL and dist.
Madam(2) 49.7 115.4 141.9 adjusted for BL
I think the speed rating is using final time as a measurement. In final time there is only 3/10ths separating the two lines. Probably why they both have a 75 speed rating. If you look at the whole race (remember it starts at the gate) the pacelines are very different.
Send me your email address and I'll send you out something that will help you understand better why to work the race manually.

Charlie
