Might have got stuck in traffic a bit, and didn’t have the kick to make it from the outside. Others have observed CC seemed tired by the end of the first two shorter races.

Sounds like some serious sour grapes from the owner.

One thing about thoroughbred jockeys: they ride really big, powerful, high-strung, spirited horses. The general rule applies: if you ride, you fall. Can you imagine falling from a horse of that size? Can you imagine the conditions under which the jockeys fall? Sure, sometimes the jockeys are injured, sometimes seriously. But most often they walk away. Why? Because they are stellar athletes.

So just remember. It’s not always smooth sailing in the stirrups. Sometimes it’s eating dirt. After you’ve taken a couple of violent spills on a ‘hard’ track with hooves flying everywhere, then you can disparage the jockey’s athleticism.

When I mentioned that among my friends (those who are the equivalent of the "low information voter" type), I was harshly rebuked.

If you truly are the best horse, then you beat whomever they put up against you.

This is why winning the Triple Crown is truly a big deal, it should be hard.

If all the other Triple Crown winners had to face rested horses, then CC's owner is a "Dumb-ass" indeed....
