I always liked his ride the year before that in the Preakness on Song of the Sword or whatever that horse's name was.
He puts the colt into a drive 6f from the wire on an obviously dead rail. The hopelessly overmatched horse packs it in and fades to last coming out of the final turn and Jorge hits him about 400 times down the lane despite the fact that I think Smarty was already in the winner's circle by that time.
