The Baffert horse is running totally straight, and has to shift out 2 full lanes to avoid this horse coming over on it. That hurts momentum, and it means the horse is now running further than she should have to run(if you are going sideways, then you are now running further than if you were allowed to run straight.) The horse has a f'n right to run straight. A horse who is running straight should be able to continue to run straight to the wire. Why should she have to shift over and lose momentum, and run further? She was best. I don't particularly care about the race, but she would of won if the other filly didn't do what she did.
