If you want my honest opinion? This is only speculation but I think he felt he had the race won and wanted to look to see if it was okay to celebrate, wave his fist, etc. When he saw Curlin right there he got back to business.

He only lost by a nose, it could be that a more focused ride wouldn't have reversed the order. We're talking inches here.

it certainly didnt look good when he did it.. I had to cringe seeing the replays when I saw him look back.. Hamdan said he was disappointed to see Jara look back when he won the DWC, imagine what he would have been like if he owned Street Sense..
