This one seems to be coming around to the correct realization that what we witnessed today was nothing more than a severe jumping to conclusions....
I particularly like these quotes:
Carlson issued a statement Saturday that said in part: "It's quite possible that I misunderstood what he said and the language barrier could have been a problem."
Down the stretch in the Derby, Santos switched his stick three times, first going right-handed, then left, and then right again nearing the wire. Just after he crossed the wire, Santos started to rise in the saddle and twirled the whip.
"I'd have to be a magician," to have a battery, Santos said. "Where am I going to hide that thing?
The Getty picture was likely taken as Santos started to move the whip in celebratory fashion, which could account for some space between his hand and the whip. It's possible that the green silks worn by Jerry Bailey aboard the second-place finisher, Empire Maker, could be seen through Santos's hand.
