I'm not sure that Henderson was ever expecting Long Run to perform better than 180 in this his seasonal reappearance. The only thing that caught him out was that Kauto ran better than he and almost everyone else was expecting.

If Kauto had run to what 99% of people were expecting Long Run would have won.

It's no disgrace to be beaten by a 180 performance at any time, let alone in a race they thought he would need.

I expected Long Run to win before the race, but if you had asked me if I thought he would have to run better than 180 to win I'd have said no.
