I might not agree with Turner's comments, but I certainly would listen to them as coming from someone qualified. I also very much agree with Andy's comments, it certainly cuts both ways. Dutrow opened the door and I don't see him ducking from the darts.
I am not going to buy into the "Kent has always had a reputation for not riding out" and that line of thinking. The guy is a professional and this is the Belmont Stakes. This was not a case of not riding out for 3rd, 4th, or a stakes placing. Different situation.
Could Turner be right? Absolutely. OTOH, is it possible that Kent felt, saw, experienced something that Turner didn't or could not have? Absolutely. Could it be something in between? Same answer. Anyway, the race is over. What's done is done and people and their opinion will land where they land.
