i understand what ur saying but regardless of the time she would have put in the same effort to win the race in whatever time..... if the time reads 59.44 instead of 57.44 and she still wins it doesnt mean she's done it easier...... they went there to win from the start. they would have planned for her to be at her peak for the king stand but yes the only doubt was whether she would back up. i dont think they would have ever even thought about just giving her the run in the king's stand to save her for the ascot
