Like I said, she did no running....but she also was given little chance. You don't ride assuming your best. You put them in position to win, and she certainly has enough speed that she shouldn't have been where she was early. Nothing infuriates me more than aggressive passivity.
Yeah, the 6-1 ML on the winner was puzzling, to say the least.

I would find it hard to believe that Puype would have instructed Flores to ride her in that manner. Probably the jockey just getting cute.
