My argument is that Z had plenty of gas left in the tank, but ran out of time to use it. You can't run a slow pace and try to make up time in the final sections and expect to run a fast time. World records are broken in races that have fast paces.
D. Wayne Lukas has been quoted as saying that in order to win the Derby all you have to do is run 12 second furlongs.

If she had so much gas left, why did she not blow by him after the finish?
