Memorable jock celebrations seconds after a win.
Let me know your favorite jockey celebration right after a win in a big race. My favorites are:
Pat Day's Derby celebration on Lil E Tee, Mike Smith's BC celebration on Lure (not sure if it was the first time or the 2nd time, but its the one he really pumps his fist 3 or 4 times, you know the one i'm talking about) and i also loved Cordero's celebration winning the BC Sprint in 1989 with Dancing Spree. Those are 3 that come to mind without really thinking about it.
Any 'celebrations' that you remember fondly?

Smith pumped his fist pretty good after the 92 Mile when Lure broke the track record by more than a second. I remember McGaughey saying afterwards that he never had a horse come to the paddock that looked as good as Lure did that day.
It was the 1993 BC at Santa Anita; Durkin acknowledged Smith when he said "Mike Smith is pumped up, and why not..."
Redboard time: I bet Lure pretty good in '92 because the Arazi hype was almost as ridiculous as it was before the Derby.

Remember the race that Angel Cordero crossed the finish line, pumping his fist, and lost by a nose?

Chris Antley on Charismatic in the Derby when he pointed one finger forward, then again in the Preakness when he pointed two fingers forward.

Garrett Gomez on Borrego in the Pacific Classic was an all-time celebration.
