Never mind that Soul of the Matter had finished second to Cigar in that first running of the Dubai World Cup. Burt Bacharach, the man in blue, was overcome with affection and respect for the equine athlete he had bred, named, and suffered alongside through two solid seasons of giddy highs and agonizing lows. And now this, at the very pinnacle of the racing game—of which he had been a part for a quarter of a century—coming within half a length of winning the world’s grandest spectacle, only to be beaten by the world’s best horse. By half a length.
