The winner had a dream trip. Being hemmed in, while saving ground, as others were making premature wide moves, is fine as long as you eventually get out, which the winner did.

For what it's worth, there are no sour grapes here, as I boxed the first two finishers in the exacta.

Many horses get steadied along in traffic. To me, this does not constitute trouble.

Has Jorge Chavez ever ridden a horse that was never checked or steadied?

I'm not looking for an arguement....thought she made a nice late run and just did not see it as being a dream trip...

What's wrong with an arguement?
