from the trainer & jockey of Midday:
"She did nothing wrong," trainer Henry Cecil said of the runner-up. "She ran a great race, but she's had three tough races and in November she might not be quite at her best. It's difficult to tell. She did nothing wrong. She's run a good race. No excuses, really. On the day, she just got beat on that course fair and square."
"No, the trip didn't beat her," Midday's jockey Tom Queally said. "The filly that finished first beat her. My filly handled the course well. That wasn't an issue either. We had a chance to get through and win, and it didn't happen. She ran her race, but got beat. Perhaps this wasn't her best day, but she ran well. We have no excuses."
---------------------------------------------------
Both of them used the phrase "no excuses".
Sheesh ! what about, "the track was too soft" or "it was too hard" or "it was too dark out there" . How about "the lights bothered my horse"; a loose shoe; too hot; too cold; too noisey;............. ?
