She's supposed to go by Diamondrella in the stretch last out.

Of course, after a fast and contested quarter they also accelerated the last 1/8th, dusting the rest of the field. This was the day for accelerating the last 1/8th as Viva La View did likewise (after slower splits) in the 9th. Visually, she hung like a rat. Otherwise, I'm resisting, slightly, because of the acceleration late. She will take money, however.

does it matter that Diamondrella is just a better horse ?
