I'm not sure about the whole retirement deal, but she doesn't get by Blame yesterday if you run the race w/same or similar trips 10x. She didn't have a bad trip and even if she gets clear a few strides earlier... he dug-in when he heard her coming, and galloped-out past her as well. I don't think she ever had a nose down in front. The close-up ESPN kept replaying shows how Blame dug-in and didn't let her by.
Basically, she finally met someone who could finish their run to the wire... she ran hers, but it was a nose short. No shame.
