Seems to me it is sour grapes. Respect Mike R. and everything he has put into the game but this is just dumb. In fact if you watch the reply as they enter into the far turn it sure appears that Noble Indy drifts out slightly to allow Vinno Rosso to come through a hole that wasn't there before the drift. A few years ago we had a couple of knuckleheads from the CC ownership group crying after the Belmont and now this in 2018. Can anyone lose with grace anymore?

Yep, and players who bet regularly wonder why the jockey on a horse that projected to be the 2nd best speed in the race had the audacity to try and get a two wide trip, right off of the other speed. Heck, TimeformUS had the early pace projected just like it played out.....
....yet the hand-wringing continues.
