You could make a case on the Juvy races and the Distaff where his main horse broke down, but other than that

The Euros were better on paper in both turf races and his Classic horses were outclassed and that was known. So should he have won a juvy race. I guess so. His fault the rail was a disgrace today and cost him the juvy fillies.
