If you put in Songbird won into twitter, people are showing the photo and slow gif of Songbird keeping her nose in front the whole time. How the camera is not on the wire in the Breeders Cup is beyond me.

The only reason the finish was so close is that Songbird actually had the advantage of the head bob. If you look at the photo Beholder's body, saddle and rider were actually more than a head in front.
Actually if Beholder had not gone so wide on both turns she would have won by 4 or 5 lengths. What a great mare to overcome this.
