I keep reading this and I keep wondering if people who believe this actually watched the race. If RA was able to draw off and was run down late, then maybe I'd buy into some of it. But, the moment she took the lead, Zardana was gunned and came like a shot to hook her. This indicates that she basically had RA measured no matter what the latter did. If RA is sent, meaning she runs faster earlier, she's buried even more than she was. In fact, she's wiped out -- and knocked out for who knows how long. I suspect the connections realize some of this and that's why they're pulling back. They don't even want to face 3rd string Z; expected improvement or otherwise.
