Danedream

[Calzone Lord]

Today, this 4-year-old filly became the first female in history to win both the King George and the Arc.

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....

The rules are quite strenuous, they were amended a few months ago after being brutally strenuous to now just quite strenuous...but not sure the exact #s

So good to see this filly back on her game. Her Arc win last year was monstrous.
