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.

Someone posted a comment that they'd rather own Thunder Snow than Always Dreaming. I think that's apt. There's more than the derby out there.
Do you think they should have scratched Mendy with the weather how it was? Did the jockey just pull him out of the race at the bad start?
I don't understand while they still ran him, if they could tell he was realy badly affected by the crowd and rain.
