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.

Any word on if Oaklawn is reviewing it at all?

At the least he should be sat down for a few days.

Too bad for hin Wallace wasn't still announcing because when he didn't hear the ever present scream, " and they turn into the short stretch of the mile run" he would have realized he needed to keep riding.

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.
