Victor is based on the West Coast circuit and he knows the rule they have out there .... limited number of use of the riding chop or "whip" in a horse race.
If the article is true in that he used the whip excessively on American Pharoah, Mr Victor Espinoza should be penalized very hard.
In comparison, the story above mentions Joel Rosario on Frosted ...... "Joel Rosario, who rode fourth-place finisher Frosted, rely much less on the stick to drive their horses to the finish line. Rosario hit Frosted only four times as he surged toward the leaders late in the Derby."
