People that say that are just being stupid. If that were the case, every female that has run against the boys would break down. The truth is that this is just a part of the game. Always has been and always will be. I'm pretty sure I've seen males break down at the end of races too. Just happens. Some will even say it's because of her breeding. More foolishness. Those same people said before the race that she wouldn't even be able to compete because of her breeding and she did that and some.
