Great race! Found it interesting that the top 3 finishing jocks all were giving suspensions for abusive whipping. Watching the replays i did notice Starke on Danedream hit his mare @6 times in the final 1/8th mile. Starke was given 7 days...Buick riding Nathaniel given 2 days. Honestly it looked like he hand rode Nathaniel the final 1/8th after a couple of stern whips a 1/4 mile out. O'Brien riding St. Nicholas Abbey was also given a 7 day suspension. I only saw him strike Nicholas a few times in the final furlong.. Not knowing the rules regarding excessive whipping over seas i have no argument..just found it interesting....
