She would (should) have been taken down even if she were to have gotten up for impeding the 7 by way of the 4 through the turn - there was plenty of room inside, I don't know if Dominguez was futzing with his goggles, lost sight of the wire, or if the horse just flat had nothing left...She was pretty damn near empty after the race... I agree though that she was outclassed in that field
