The criticism is fine. I'm not sure what the criticism is... It's not my responsibility or place to suggest on a radio show to Rick Dutrow or any other trainer that they may be running a less than perfectly fit horse in the third leg of the Triple Crown with immortality on the line. I think they already knew that...
And the suggestion that Dutrow and Desormeaux were "tense" Saturday is an interesting revelation... I wonder why they might have been tense? Was there anything riding on the day's outcome?
They were hoping the horse's talent would be enough. It wasn't.
