Officiating darted to a 1 1/4-length victory over Fleetridge, while it was another length back in third to 3-5 favorite and highweight Warrant. The Cornhusker was the main event during the two-night Iowa Festival of Racing. Prairie Meadows featured four Thoroughbred stakes on each card. The races were worth a cumulative $1.2 million. Officiating ($18.80) had won three sprint stakes prior to the Cornhusker, among them the Grade 3 Tom Fool in March at Aqueduct and the Grade 3 Mr. Prospector in December at Gulfstream Park. He was stretching out from six furlongs Saturday and settled just off the pace set by Fleetridge and Flash of Mischief, who raced through an opening quarter in 23.70 seconds, a half-mile in 49.52 and six furlongs in 1:13.31. :: DRF Bets members get FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.
