Had an interesting race in the Wood Memorial. I've been tinkering around with a modified version of the quick play version. For this race I used the quick play charts but rolled three speed rolls for each horse.

Flying Scot and Pompoon ran neck and neck through the first third of the race. Pompoon took a half-length lead at the 2/3rds mark, but Flying Scot lived up to his name catching Pompoon in the final segment and finishing ahead of him by a half-length.

Melodist was the best of the rest of the field, but never challenged the two front-runners finishing 5 lengths behind.
