If you were to look at a chart for the race you'd see that EVERY (other) horse (ALL) in the race gained on the leader the last split. If you don't run early and suck up inside while others, like Lemon Drop Gal, are bidding, then it stands to reason that you will be running late. The way this race shaped up just shows how much better than the others LDG was, how much MORE than the others she ran (in terms of effort and distance). Yet, she didn't win cause of the way the race shaped up. And, you have complaints?
