Because they use two finish lines. A "main finish line" and the "1 mile finish line", see below link. The race was 6f and therefore was ending at the main finish line. The jock stood up at the 1 mile finish line instead of riding to the main finish line.

oh, in hoss's original post i thought he said it was a mile race.
i know they use more than one finish line-it's nothing new, so you'd think the jocks would be aware of where races end.
