Winning the Kentucky Derby is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and usually the jockeys are the ones who show emotion. However, Rich Strike stole the show himself with his post-race antics.

After crossing the finish line, it appears that the winning horse was biting other horses around him.

Rich Strike at one point had 99-1 odds to win the roses, but closed at 80-1 right before the gates opened. His comeback win, where he came out of nowhere in the final stretch to surpass the favorite, ended up being one of the more shocking victories in recent memory.
