I often find it interesting the way people see the same event different depending on what your position was going into it. I will say that I didn't want her to win for reasons that I've stated before that are admittedly, kind of dumb. I won't say I over or underestimated her because I wanted to reserve judgement until I saw her against better competition. I credit her for getting the job done, especially if she did it while injuring herself. I think she proved herself as a legit racehorse to those of us that had our doubts as to her ability. I don't think that she proved herself to be one of the two best horses in the world and I don't even think top 5-10 is accurate. I didn't think it was the jockey error that almost got her beat either. It was so quick that I really doubt it cost her. I don't think she even had time to process his relaxing and starting back up so fast. I don't think it's even possible for her reaction time to be that quick.
