Meanwhile, the true measure of Bart’s dozen was being explained, not by the victors but the vanquished. The internationals, Aidan O’Brien, Dermot Weld and Luca Cumani, were fulsome in their praise of the great trainer’s feat, as were Bauer’s part-owners, Terry Henderson and Simon O’Donnell, whose OTI syndicate masterminded the trip from the northern hemisphere and was established with the purpose of producing Cup runners. O’Donnell took heart from a losing margin – officially 0.1 of a length – that many would find heartbreaking. “It shows us that we are on the right track but it also shows how hard this race is to win,” he said at the time. “And to think Bart won 12 of them. Incredible.”
