You didn't hear from him when he was saying his nonsense about Derby/CD and you won't now. That's the whole point. He thinks he's the story.
Owners will always say things. It's the horses that do the talking.

There ya go! Personally I do not believe Chrome was as good as many of the horses that have failed to win the Triple Crown in recent years (Silver Charm, Smarty Jones, Point Given, even Big Brown), so it didn't bother me that he lost (though with Chrome grabbing a quarter, in hindsight, he didn't run too bad). I'm not even sure if Chrome is as good as the filly that won the Oaks. Chrome's owner is a silly man, I was thinking to myself "He must just be really drunk" when he first commented after the race... but the next morning he just made sure he let the world know that he's an idiot.
The Triple Crown should not be changed, should not have more spacing. I'd rather the drought continue than see the Triple Crown diminished by making changes.
