The Z pattern is when a horse loses somewhat significant ground after the first call only to rerally. That horse pretty much lost ground in all of its races. Last time it started off slowly and pretty much held it's position.

thanks. I guess Polar Star's win is more accurately attributable to modest class relief in addition to having a bit more stamina than the others in one very weak field.
