How is it his fault? What specifically did he do wrong?

I dont blame him, but you said yourself you were not sure she could be closer and still finish. He never really gave her the chance to be closer. For a split second I thought she was pulled up right at the start. I could not believe she was that far back.

If you watch the replay he wanted her closer early. He's scrubbing on her when she begins to drop back early. He said she didn't react well to the dirt hitting her in the face. He also said even though she had dealt with it before at Oaklawn, they were small fields. As they rounded into the backstretch she caught up with the field.

He rode a nearly flawless race. I guess it's nice he decided to take the blame, but he deserves none of it. No excuses are necessary. She ran her race and she fell just short. That's what happens when you run against good fields.
