Falling behind early may have been the best thing to happen to her and the race may be getting slightly overrated cause it was so visually appealing. To run the 3rd and 4th furlongs in 22.16 and comeback in sub-24 is pretty impressive though.
Its entirely possible that getting left helped and that it was slightly overrated. But you cannot deny that the way she was striding out so powerfully in the stretch with her head up and ears back was simply awesome. Also that middle quarter is worth noting!!
