It's almost like he believes that he is a Holy icon of the sport.

Also, is he going to do the goggles bit every year for the rest of his life?

so funny you mention that. one local news guy during a break (weather update) here said 'don't worry about the derby. the jocks just toss goggles off during the race, so they can see'. i died laughing. my husband told me i was mean because i started making wisecracks about horses having to dodge goggles laying all over the track. look out, here comes another pair!! jocks getting smacked in the face with a discarded pair from a lead rider...
