He is entitled to have an opinion and to express it in print. The reason for the apology appears to be that based on what Paul Nicholls has said - the Rp seems to be accepting that A Down's opinion was based on factual errors about John Hales' behaviour .

So for example hypothetically were an owner to refuse to shake the hand of the winning owner and shout at his trainer and stomp out of the winner's enclosure cussing - then A Down's comments would have been justified - as none of them or similar bad behaviour happened the Rp is accepting that they weren't .
