She was tired for sure. I am not certain the ride was to blame really. I think they had the strategy that this was a two horse race and none of the others would be able to come and get her. They buried LAT who may never be the same, see other horses that have pushed Rachel (aside from Big Drama). They just got tired and didn't have enough distance.
My opinion a bad ride this year was JV on Quality Road, he had gas in the tank and with no pressure didn't go fast enough early which let Blame nip him.
