I respect your opinion on noticing horses' condition but also I didn't see anything here. She just looked very short and lacked the burst she usually has. Her head was a little cocked but she looked like she was watching her opponent. In retrospect, her worst race last year was also at Fair Grounds, I'm hoping that was what caused her poor performance. Zardana is a nice horse but not one I'd expect to beat Rachel, especially given the circumstance (no trouble, decent but far from exceptional pace.)
