Was Mendelssohn (134) carrying a lot more than the others?

I don't think so, only Raaya carried less weight AFAIK
He was sans lasix though. So he will probably recover from that race more quickly, then add that he will most likely receive lasix in the Derby.
Shipping distance may be a wash as far as the recovering quickly part.
