Sources and replay limits

Original scan uninspected; names and numerical OCR are provisional. Seven starters; their provisional investment readings sum to 2183. The printed pool total is unreadable in the indexed report, so 2183 is explicitly a derived sum, not a verified reported total. Leona weight unreadable. Mimoa spelling corroborated by another 1900 notice. This is a flat pony race.

Card abilities, neutral styles, equal rider priors, NORMAL going and the randomized draw are Estimated ASN setup. The recorded replay pace is SLOW. No historical finish was substituted. Horse identities remain provisional and event-scoped; jockey labels are not merged into named careers.

Elapsed time and margins: unavailable. The leader checkpoints are derived from the verified replay journal.
