So you should actually win the race THEN celebrate?

It is amazing that you see this three or four times a year at the highest level- and they KEEP doing it. Amazing....... will they ever learn???

Re: Sprint like Oscar
I wonder how many wins you have to have before you get that nonchalant/stupid.
When I'm sprinting for the line I'm ASSUMING that there is someone about to pass me and I'm full gas until way past the line.
At Fitchburg or Well's Ave or a Wednesday nite town line, I wouldn't piss away a W like that.
