I dont think the blame is that he wrapped the horse up, i think what bettors are questioning is why not vigorously hand ride all the way thru the wire? He seemed to 'dog it' in the final strides and got caught on line in the last dying stride. He might have been caught anyway, but at least finish strong, its only a 6.5 furlong race, not much to ask to do your job for a minute and 15 seconds.
