Hammer said I've got a photo like the SI cover etc.
I feel like my opinion has been confirmed, and that the SI shot is good, its not a cover and is a grab shot by an asst photo editor not a pro photog. ad doesnot feature the horse, in his glory but that the crowd is just as important, so tto me it is a supporting shot to a photo essay.

except it is the cover, and is a good shot. i can see why they used. it's a great encapsulation of the tc win, a mass celebration with only the winner in the photo.
what i like the most is it's a photo of spontaneous reactions, with the addition of the camera phone craze, nothing posed and 'just perfect'
