Could it be, that she ( Coded Princess) was in season or becoming in

Or maybe (and) beeing (very) hard pressed in her last outings, beeing
whipped out for instance. Some of them seen to go ducking as jockeys are
whipping them, gooiing left or right (hanging with their heads), switching their tails or changing legs.
Some fillies doesn,t like it beiing really pressed, as they are trying to do their utmost already. And then got punished for their effords
This above might be read as foolish, but is not intent to be that way.

Actually I absolutely agree with you. She was being pressed in this race harder than she liked, according to Todd and that was a contributory factor, but she's big and strong and young and still learning, despite some early success and sometimes, perhaps we forget that she was a May baby and so we expect more, since she has already done so well. She has surprised us with more than we had expected at the outset. So, my tongue in cheek reference to being bratty was just that. I like her a lot.
