jquery validate() get current form in submitHandler

I have a page with multiple forms to validate the code below works fine but I am having trouble when trying to access the $.validator object to get a reference of the validated form selector/id that is being stored as "currentForm"

    $("form.validate").each(function(){

         $(this).validate({
            submitHandler: function(form) {
               console.log($(this));
            }
         });

    });

The Console.log ==

[$.validator, init: function, selector: "", jquery: "1.4.2", size: function, toArray: function…]
0: $.validator
containers: c.fn.c.init[0]
currentElements: c.fn.c.init[12]
currentForm: form#thisForm1.validate
...

Why doesnt - $.validator.currentForm give me the value for currentForm?

I have tried validator.currentForm.id & validator.currentForm as well as many other combos. Any ideas on how I can get that value to use in my submitHandler to reference the subbed form.
