But there's no shame in being a horse who handles 9f... and can go longer under the right circumstances.

Ruffian only comes around once every few decades.

and i also have to think if she ran in a 10f race, the early portions of the race would be run differently. she squared off vs a very, very fast horse early that day, and still held on late. would mine that bird have caught her in the last 16th? maybe. maybe not.
and no, there's no shame if she can't handle 10f. but i also recall congaree getting that criticism on a regular basis, but he showed that wasn't the case at all.
