So much is talked about a great jockey have great hands.Which jockey in your opinion today would lose a little bit of there game if there werent allowed to use a whip?

Would the top jockeys today (Dominguez,Castellano,Gomez,Velaquez...etc)lose any advantage?

A guy like Castellano, who may be physical in both hadling of a horse and in-fighting with other horses/jockeys, will miss the whip more

than a say, a guy like Dominguez who typically is more finesse and speed oriented.
