So if whipping didn't matter, why did he start whipping him again? Just to beat him cause he wasn't the best horse this day? I'm not taking anything away from Curlin, he's a beast. The point is that Calvin didn't give it his best all the way to the wire. Afterall, it's the Preakness. Keep the rhythm of racing all the way to the wire, give your horse every opportunity to find that extra ten inches to win the second leg of the triple crown.
