I have been festering over this myself but I have come to the conclusion that it is my fault that I didn't have Little Mike or Get Stormy on a backup ticket to guard against exactly what happened. Races are not run on paper. But I would not have gone 10 deep in the derby on my backup ticket like I did on my main so it is a moot point.
