In your mind she ran AGAINST it, due to the slow early fractions. In point of fact, she got a perfect setup and the pacesetters, who'd set those dawdling fractions, got the worst of it.
So the slow horses were moving slowly but they had been asked to run so the last horse that had been running the slowest of all was then asked to run after the slow horses who were moving slowly started to go slower even though thay had never run a fast step in the race.. Let's recap..Slow horses move slowly thru a race but eventhough it is very slow they are still running faster then other horses that are running slower. So when the slow horses that have been running slowly start to slow down the last slowest horse to speed up and keep going past the slowing slow horses is a perfect set up winner. Got YA
