None of the other entrants who selected Big Brown were closer than Doug was in the tiebreakers. The closest was poster Allworld23 #13:

Doug's time of 202 flat was one fifth of a second off of the official time of 201.4 (201.82) while Allword23 was four fifths of a second off with a prediction of 201 flat..Both predicted a 5 length win by Big Brown, both an equal quarter of a length off.
