    That celebration before reaching the finish. Hilarious. 10/1 on the main picture in tomorrow's papers.

    Lucky for him he did not fall off - that would have been an even bigger story!

    The celebration picture is bound to be in all the papers - he did it at the winning post. If it had been Frankie Dettori winning cosily it would not be getting stick like I expect that Mikael Barzalona will get celebrating before he actually hit the front!

    Reminds me of a certain Arc winning filly who was unbeaten and the celebrations from her French jockey. Superb win and brilliance in the saddle

    Never mind the celebration, I've never seen anything like a horse 12-15 lengths behind and dead last three and a bit furlongs out at Epsom pick up and accelerate twice.

    Quite the most extraordinary Derby I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. As KK said, he was such a long way behind at one point the winner looked to have little chance. The finish was absolutely incredible. Did you notice that due to the stand-up celebratory posture of the jockey, he was actually taking a pull too, and yards before the post. However, Pour Moi was going so fast nothing was going to stop him. Amazing race.
