Can anyone find and post the place photo from the Arlington Washington Lassie??

It sure looked to me like the 1 horse caught the 13 at the wire, then after waiting what seemed like 15 minutes to figure it out, they put up the 13 (really nice of Arlington Park to interview Bill Stringfellow during the wait). Finally, when they showed the photo, I didn't have my electron microscope up and running, so I failed to see any separation between the 1 and 13 on the line. But luckily, the AP Stews must have had theirs working
