She was walking at the end because the jockeys rode the race like a match race. She won the match. She just got run down by a longshot, who neither jock thought could beat them. I think Persistantly proved her win in the PE was a fluke with her showing in the Beldame.
The truth is she would have had a very good chance in the Beldame and the Distaff. No shame in running there....except for Jess Jackson.

personally, i think he should of retired her before. thats what i was saying. heres the thing win or lose, what does it prove? the horse has proven greatness. sorry, about the "emotions" comment. i love the horse too. but, i felt she was in trouble after the woodward. just by the number of races i've watched and the long layoff. posted it here months and months ago and got attacked as some sort of zenyatta lover. i just call it like i see it. yes, i did attack some of the rachel "fanatics". because judgment becomes clouded by fandum. i sort of think people are killing the messanger (jackson) for telling them, its over. i don't think he ever wants to see another race like the last one. the connection is, someone might of dueled her into the ground the next time too. do you think they were going to concede the lead after they saw the last race?
