Something as simple as a clean break by St. Trinians would have made the difference. Saving some ground into the 1st turn would have also helped.

Rosario's ROI is what it is because he rarely loses when he's on the horse who runs the better race .. and he steals a few wins here and there in races where he's not on the best horse.

Garcia is just your average top circuit jockey. Other than the very poor start and going 5 wide on the 1st turn while starting from post 2 - and getting hung up 4 to 5 wide the entire way around the far turn ... he did absolutely nothing wrong. Picture perfect.
Going 'maybe' 4 wide into the 1st turn did not cost her the race, you cannot be saying this with a straight face, furthermore didn't Zenyatta break a little tardy last year in the BC Classic? One is used as an excuse, the other is not. Be consistent atleast, there are some that actually hang on every word you say here afterall.
