Yesterdays Miami Herald caption alledged that the photo "clearly showed a bronze colored, metalic object" in Santos right hand...

Today the Herald, (according to the DRF front page report) states that the photo "depicts a dark in the space between Santos' right hand and his whip"....Now, which is it going to be?

I thought the photo was a stretch of the imagination in the first place, now the paper that broke the story can't even come up with a good interpretation.

Not only that but if you watch the replay of Santos switching the whip to his left hand shortly after he crosses the finish line, it doesn't appear that he has anything in his hand other than the whip handle. He makes the switch much to quick and smoothly for him to have been juggling another object in the same hand...

Maybe those hillbillies down in Florida are just sore loosers because they wanted their Florida Derby hero to win the Derby...Or maybe those hillbillies in Kentucky are sore because a NY-bred gelding finally stole their thunder....

Go Funny Cide!
