Default Borel's ride in the Preakness

I dont know if this has been brought up but in my opinion Calvins Borel ride cost him the win in the preakness.

at the stretch, borel should have given street sense a vigorous hand ride instead of whipping him constantly. He had a 2 length lead and yet he was still whipping the horse and that cuased street sense to lose intrest.

I know its a woulda-coulda-shoulda scenario but I know if it was Bailey, McCarron, Stevens, Pincay or Day riding that horse, Street Sense would have won. Its jockeys like these who know how to ride in big time races.
