IF the horse is entered in subsequent races where folks think he's overmatched etc, then a critical comment is justified...but using this news, that she decided not to run thinking of what is best for the horse, seems an odd place to criticize her again...seems a bit like overkill to me, folks have already made their point. I think giving her credit here is the proper response!
She showed them and beat 3 in the derby. If she was so concerned for the horse why was she even considering the trip to Baltimore?
