I was thinking around those lines also. Just because it's Russel Baze there should not be a pass on this.
And as MMSC said if it was a G1 or stakes race from say Saratoga or televised on ESPN there would be a much bigger outcry.
Also noted this from the DRF article:
"Other trainers and jockeys, though, have been critical of Baze's whipping the horse after he appeared to be injured."
It's in the stewards hands now, hoping there will be some kind of strong sanctions imposed.
