Really? Like those talented and stubborn 16k claimer types she was beating by desperate noses?

I would also like to know why, if Z had such an awesome herd dynamic, why did she not just go to the lead at the start, or at the very least, earlier in the race?
Zenyatta has a nurturing side, which she displayed by not running past her opponents until the very last possible moment. This left her opponents with the feeling that they had won. Zenyatta cares.
