Horse and jockey in the winners circle getting there official photograph. After this the jockey will get weighed in to make sure his weight has not changed since the beginning of the race. In the old days jockeys would carry lead weights and throw them off during the race, so the horse ran faster with the lighter load. Nothing ever changes!!!
