It's the people who have been saying how great he is, and how he could come off of a long layoff in his first race at 10f and still air to this field, because he is just that superior and special, that has fueled any backlash. It's pretty clear the horse wasn't ready for this strong a race and shouldn't have started. Even 'superstars' need conditioning to be ready for the really big races.
