I will say that you are the first I have heard to question his whipping. I saw nothing wrong at all with his ride.

He did look back for a split second, but it doesn't appear to me, at least, that it caused the horse any momentum. The horse was just outrun to the wire and it is what it is. Saying that the other jockeys would have won with the horse where he didn't is just ridiculous. The jockey's you mention are Hall of Famers no doubt, but Borel proved Derby Day that he can win a big race. The horse was beat a head, if he gets that head in front no one says a word. Just seems like a lot of sour grapes from people that needed Street Sense and are looking to blame someone.

well said
