Oh just a bit faster? Tear just about any muscle and try and compete, much less win.

She was clearly not 100% before the race. Even the Aussie punters/reporters were restrained on how she was looking going up to the race and they are some of the most biased lot in all of sports.

And really American racing fans should be kinda reserved about criticizing slow international races. Nothing was slower than the Mother Goose.
