I do think she ran "as well as expected", which is to say there was no reason to expect her to run back to her top. As someone else on this string said (and as I said after the Belmont) there were plenty of reasons to bet against her next time out regardless, and all the other factors you mentioned (to say nothing of the weight spread and that Velasquez was sure to keep her ouside riding her as "the best horse") just made her an even better bet against. And yes, she did get the best figure-- but they don't pay off for that.
