This is reminiscent of when Mike Smith beat the tar out of Azeri in the Humana Distaff in 2004. I believe he hit her almost 30 times.

Pat Day was notorious for 20 or more swats of the whip in the stretch. Reference Farda Amiga in the Alabama in 2002.

It's really not even something worth talking about, especially considering he said afterwards that she reacted more to seeing Macho Again than anything else.

The one and only, he was a great bet though.. First time Chavez paid off pretty well, that whip woke more than a few hangers up.

If it makes you feel any better, he'll go after a $5K starter horse at Churchill with equal gusto.

More like, he should be fined or suspended for all the "showboating" he does in the post parade & right after he crosses the finish line with her!

That twirling he did in the Haskell was kinda funny given you know he won and didn't drop the whip. My favorite Borel showboating comes from the announcer (not Durkin) calling the Oaks. He said something to the effect of Calvin 'looks over his right shoulder..no danger! He looks over his left shoulder...no danger!' I liked the way he delivered it. It's a nice way of saying what many of us were thinking, that Calvin's gawking around is gonna make him fall off one of these days and that we wish he would (expletive) knock it off because does he honestly think someone's gonna make up that much ground? He knew she was a mile in front for pete's sake.

How about Manuel Ycaza, he was super aggressive.
