Right. Rather than just accept that the horse wasn't good enough and wouldn't have won under just about any circumstances:
We assume, that in a race with a few other on the pace types, HS will not only run them off their feet but will be going so fast that BOTH Curlin and the filly will have to move too soon, thus getting run off their feet, as well. And, after all this, HS will have enough to win going 12F.
Yeah
