The horse was run at a few times last out and she held very well. She's supposed to be MORE fit coming out of that race than going in. Today, she has it all her own way and just collapses. Clearly, given that the last race TIGHTENED her and she didn't run like it today, the trainer obviously didn't do something right. If there were issues and she couldn't train, he should've scratched her until she was fit again. I mean, last race did all the work for him. All he had to do was sustain her fitness. He failed.
