Since when is saving ground a bad thing?
She sat in the pocket behind a very fast, crowded pace and angled out at the perfect time.
She was clearly the best horse and her acceleration was visually impressive (even though the wrong lead thing was ugly), but it's easy to look impressive when the horses behind you are basically running in place.
I wouldn't dispute that she's better than Luckin At Lucky, though.

Well, I can only tell ya what I thought as I watched the race when they were in the middle of the backstretch. I thought she was stuck in last with a lot of fillies in her way (both in front of her, and outside of her.) I did not think she'd win from that poor situation. I thought she'd run a troubled 2nd-4th. This is her real ability being shown. I don't know what that was the other day from her. Tyler was in tears at one point that day. Obviously, that individual is not mentally stable. So, people need to overlook that last race. This isn't a fluke performance. She will improve on it.
