Good observation, was noticed here as well.
If the timer was off, was it off for other races?
The finishing positions say bounce for the majority of the field.
The time of the sixth says the Atto was merely a good race, not a great one.
The Turf course was drying out quickly. Post 6th the Turf should have been faster per the trend. The condition changed from Soft to Yielding for the Atto. It certainly wasn't a bog.
Leroid is a very juicy target.
