As paradoxical as it may seem, the root of this unevenly run race was the too fast 1st 1/4. The other riders overreacted to it and dug themselves into a hole deep in the valley pattern with the slow 2nd quarter. They figured this pace was going to be too hot for this cheap filly from Finger Lakes and we just have to lay back until she folds in the stretch.
The good thing about these races is that they are extreme examples that bring about the discovery of effects of things like uneven patterns.
