Yeah, I read that, as well as another piece with Turner's comments. I understand his mindset and where's he's coming from, but I don't see it as being that black and white. Personally, I think Desormeaux made a judgement call. I don't think it was to "save face" or anything of the like. I'd rather see Kent pull the horse up than to see the horse potentially get hurt, or even go down on the track from duress -- which while it didn't happen, that could have been what Desormeaux was trying to avoid.

The bottom line is that we just don't know what we don't know. Hindsight is always 20/20, brilliant thinking and obvious.
