I just spoke to the owners of Tomcito, and despite not understanding a word that was said ( does it matter? ), I have gathered that he will not be running in the Kentucky Derby, attention Romans and countrymen, but will instead be pointed for a more appropriate spot ( presumably somewhere in New England ). Through a translator I was able to determine that they had little doubt this was where he was headed all along. However, their experiment ( they were out to see if PT Barnum was right ) was a rousing success.

As for his shoes, I think we all know what they will be........but if you don't I can only offer a hint.......they'll be lime green.
