Spoke to Chuck.. Appears to have come out fine. Arroyo said she was a little bothered by the mud from the three pacesetters early but then settled and got back on the bit. He thought they were in good shape off the turn when he moved toward the inside. He knew the winner was going to run off, but he thought at the quarter pole he had a shot for 2nd. But has been said by some of her other riders, she seems unwilling to put out and really try.
Arroyo said she felt fine and he'd ride her again happily, but that when he asked she refused to offer additional effort. Her knees have continued to bother her, and she may just be unwilling to try hard enough to contend. There's really no other explanation. It has been a very frustrating go with her having shown that she had talent early on.
