What does this mean?

It was a blanket three horse finish....the second and third horses ran very similar final times.

You are likely right, Magna and Diamond Stripes probably would have run about the same from the 7/8 to the wire even if Bull wouldn't have fired.
Flashy Bull improved the overall quality of the race, but probably not the winner's final time.

here are my estimated velocities for the last 2 furlongs

Magna Graduate 53.6 ft/s
Diamond Stripes 53.2 ft/s
Flashy Bull 52.8 ft/s
