You have to remember that Mendelssohn is owned by Coolmore.
The overarching goal for Coolmore is not to win the Kentucky Derby, but rather to produce stallions.
A track record performance at the Group 1 level with an 18 1/2 length winning margin? Regardless of how he performs at Churchill (if he performs at all), Mendelssohn has gotten his "stallion making" race.
