The race was a workout for her. What exactly did you want to see out of her? The 2nd horse set a ridiculously slow pace and was inside, while Z was widest on the turn, moved too soon, and gained the lead with the length of the stretch yet to be run. For me, it's enough that she maintained an easy advantage to the wire under less than advantageous conditions.

You've never seen a bad horse beat a much better one under similar dynamics?
