WATCH: Bob Baffert Does The Dab After Horse Wins Kentucky Oaks

Bob Baffert has a lot to celebrate after his horse, Abel Tasman, won the Kentucky Oaks on May 5, 2017. The come-from-behind win was surprising to say the least, as jockey Mike Smith was able to turn things around in the final stretch of the race.

Following the incredible finish, the camera panned to the famed trainer who was celebrating with his wife, Jill Baffert, and son, Bode. Within seconds, Baffert and his 12-year-old son did the dab.

It is not the first time that Baffert has done the dab — “a simple dance move or playful gesture, in which a person drops their head into the bent crook of a slanted arm, while raising the opposite arm in a parallel direction but out straight” — he has been known to bust the popular move on camera from time to time — and so has his son.

If you follow horse racing, you probably know that Baffert is used to celebrating big wins on Derby weekend. He and his family have had many very happy post-race moments at Churchill Downs.

Baffert and his son have had a lot to celebrate over the years, but their Oaks dab really takes the cake. It does seem as though the move was planned, given the subtle communication displayed just before. But, either way, the perfectly synchronized dab could be the start of a new “winning” ritual for the father-son duo.

Bode is super into horse racing and seems to really love the work that his dad does. This wasn’t the first time that the pre-teen made headlines for getting caught up in the moment. When the Baffert-trained American Pharoah won the Kentucky Derby in 2015, Bode was jumping up and down with his arms in the air. Check out his reaction in the video below.

Baffert does not have any horses competing in the 2017 Kentucky Derby, but his third career win at the Oaks should keep him in a “dabbing” mood for rest of the weekend — and beyond. Instead of donning a suit and preparing for another potential win, Baffert will be watching the Derby from the comfort of his own home.

“I’ll be watching everybody stressing out. It’ll be fun,” he told the Associated Press. As for which horses might be his favorites, you could safely bet on Always Dreaming and Classic Empire. Both horses were sired by Baffert-trained horses. The more notable, perhaps, would be Classic Empire, sired by Bodemeister. The horse was a major contender in the 2012 Derby and the 2012 Preakness Stakes.

“It’s a different feeling if you’ve got a horse in there. Believe me, he’ll come out of it with a totally different perception. He’ll understand what it’s all about — the importance of the race, the emotions that run through you. Everybody should go through it,” Baffert said.

Perhaps the horse racing world will get to see another father-son dab in the 2018 Kentucky Derby.
