It really came apart at the seams so quickly. She broke a step slow and she was last instantly. I thought that JV gave her about a 1/4 of a mile to try to get her stride going, but it just never happened. Not sure what else he was supposed to do after the slow break, quarter horse her to the lead?
IMO, JV was in a no win situation and I have no fault with him.
(edit : ) Obviously, I might have a different feeling if I had a boatload of money on her. I only had a small win bet.
