I think it was likely a case where they went into the race with that idea in mind.
I've heard Ron Ellis talk a lot over the years (unfortunately) -- and knowing how square he is, he complained about the ride she got when Talamo was over aggressive at Hollywood two back, and he's the type of person who would want the horse finishing as well as possible at 8.5f to "set her up" for 9f.
