Travers followup: Jockey Luis Saez is accused of carrying an electronic device - NY Daily News
The article has some real gems, too:
The 21-year-old Saez wouldn?t comment, but his agent Richard DePass did.
?What makes Eric Guillot an expert on racing?? DePass asked. ?We?re going to fight this vigorously. This kid doesn?t drink, doesn?t smoke, doesn?t go anywhere. He has two kids and is always with them. This guy is making an accusation against the nicest kid in America. He doesn?t even curse. I got a few pictures and you see nothing with his left hand wide open. It?s the same thing when they accused (jockey) Jose Santos (in the 2003 Kentucky Derby aboard Funny Cide).He?s slandering this kid.?
LMAO. So fucking funny.
And this:
Now retired, Jose Santos watched the Travers from home in Florida.
?I really didn?t see anything, and if you ask me, it?s a cheap excuse,? he said. ?It?s a very strong accusation.?
Santos won a substantial lawsuit against the Miami Herald, which accused him of carrying a buzzer in the Derby, when it was just a shadow that disappeared once the photo was enlarged.
?It is embarrassing to be accused,? Santos said. ?I know that there have been some guys who have been caught. You have to be stupid to use it in a big race like that. You have to be stupid to use it in any kind of race.?
Smaller races... fair game?
