I think he was going top speed.

Even though Chrome was only being mildly asked, I agree with you that he was going close to top speed until about 90 yards from the wire. But at that point Espinoza had him extremely geared down. That is why he was drawing further and further away from Dortmund until that point and then Dortmund actually gained a few lengths on him that final 80-90 yards.
