No, LoneF, it did not. But, in horseracing like all of life, "the best laid plans of mice and men, etc, etc."
I bet two horses to win the Derby. Good Magic and Mendelssohn. I included these two with others in an exacta box, posting my choices here. Something I rarely bother with.
Still, I believe Mendelssohn is a very talented colt and I couldn't have more respect for a trainer than I have for Aiden O'Brien. To hear this man speak in interviews about his horses and their races is to listen to honesty, reverence, and grace.
When we can stand up and humbly proclaim a learning experience, we cannot possibly be seen as losing. Not in any way.
