Default Sour grapes???

Is this Miller being a sore loser or does he have a point? IMO the horse was dead tired and was stopping badly. Anyone else have an opinion?

Here is the important stuff from the article.....

The incident with Wicked Strong, and the resulting injury to jockey Rajiv Maragh, was the most noticeable incident in the strangely run race. But Miller was left puzzled about Ortiz’s handling of Big Cazanova, believing the rider simply gave up on the horse at the quarter pole.

“We weren’t happy with the effort of the rider in New York,” Miller said. “I called the stewards, and Ortiz told them the horse was lugging out. But I didn’t see that at all. It was all very strange. Thank God the horse is good.”
