mental influence to an animal???, coincidence or not? Options

Hello all...
Well I want to know if the following can be true.. The facts are as follows:

1) i did a bet on a horse in a race
2) in that race the hot favourite looked in superb condition and keen to gallop...
This caused me to be anxious coz i was afraid that the favourite has a great chance of winning..
3) i somewhat wanted the favourite to lose.. i have never done any occult or similar thing like that before... When the horse was running the race, I imagined the heart of the horse and i like of imagined my hand pressing against the heart of the horse... like to stop it from running that fast .... Eventually the favourite won the race and i got angry... coz i lost money.. Normally races are fixed and you just get angry on the way the jockeys make a fool of the betting public...
4)well waht happened later frightened me.. the horse was in superb condition before the race but sohrtly after the race, theere was an announcement stating that the horse had died of a heart failure shortly after it won the race...
I was sad and really wished it was coincidence of what happened..
Can someone enlighten me if such thing is possible or not that it could have been due to someone doing such things in imagination and this comes true??

If anyone has anything else to add about their experiences of magick affecting animals, maybe how they behave during ritual, we could continue in that way.


Off topic but pertinent:

i get the sensation that one gets when someone puts a finger in between the eyebrows... i feel like something opening on my forehead....

That happens a lot to people when they are starting to develop; it is often a sign of progress and another of those little things that you might like to put in your magickal journal.
