A close run thing, then. Did you fail to win at anything else, or was it just the one event?
My advice would be to try and think of it as just a bit of harmless fun. You had a go, and that's what really counts. It's the taking part which is important, not the glory of victory.
I, for one, do not believe the rumours circulating about you taking a dive in the last furlong or receiving a bribe from the local bookie whether or not there is YouTube footage of it.
