The connections of Life At Ten had nothing to lose. She's already a Grade 1 winner.
If she takes back and avoids the duel - than RA gets to set her own pace unpressured - and they run 2nd to her.
They sent hard hoping Borel would back down and let them have an easy lead.
Running 2nd beaten 4 lengths instead of 3rd by 11.5 lengths is no great win.
