She saved ground and had to alter course in the stretch which I just don't think means much. IMO the winner did more work than her early and beat her reasonably comfortably.
Now, considering the trainers, perhaps the second finisher will improve down the road, and the winner will go nowhere, but based on today's race I prefer the winner. I also thought she took sneaky money ( which is irrelevent....just thought I would mention it ).

Kapanga had to tap on the brakes a few times. If she had a clean trip she wins. But her running style is a make one huge run and unless she gets lucky, she's bound to run into a bit of traffic problems. If she gets up and wins I hit the early pick four but it wasn't meant to be.
I think you guys are over analyzing the winners trip. She sat the garden trip, and had enough in reserve to hold off the hard charging Kapanga.
