How many other horses got hurt on Florida Derby Day at Gulfstream?

I was moving that day so I didnt get a chance to watch many races, but I did see Big Drama and Phil run pretty hard in the race prior to. And its hard to believe Quality Road was the only horse to run "hard" that day. Dunkirk ran pretty "hard" until Quality Road was asked and burst away from him like he was a nickel claimer.

Yes, he sure did. But for me, not good enough.
I wonder how Quality Road would have fared running that same style race Dunkirk did?

I don't think they are sending him to Pletcher to pay the day rate.
