The 3 hung in the 70 yards she had to go through the hole before the wire?

The 6 got a relatively easy lead after the 7, her main pace rival, almost went down on the backstretch. What was so tough about that trip?

I agree the 3 had a ground saving trip but was blocked until it was too late. I think it is hard to argue that the 3 would not have won that race with a clean hole in the stretch.
