Poor Mendelssohn really took the worst of it yesterday. He seemed to get mugged from his right side coming out of the gate and then get bumped all over again in the first turn. O'Brien added that he did not seem comfortable with all of the mud that was kicked back into his face. After all of that, I guess that he sort of lost interest. Didn't hear of any injury, although sometimes they are only found after the race. I think we will see him again in the BC Classic.
