I thought we had settled this issue but it has reared its head over on the about website. A fellow there named depalma is responsible for the quote at the beginning of this thread.

He claims that you can see the clipping on the overhead, which I am very doubtful of. I'll have to look at it again.

It has been pointed out that HS runs like this but subsequently it was pointed out by others on about, that a) he did not run like that in the Lanes End and b) he did not bob his head like that on a regular basis in the derby only when changing leads. (depalma on the latter)

I clearly saw HS on the video bow his head before reaching the far turn. Right after the announcer calls out SEdgefield and Teuf. Whta I am not sure of is whether HS is doing this every so often on the backstretch. THought he was but the buildings get in the way. Depalma is sure he didnt do this and only does this when he changes leads.

So the mystery deepens.

THe comment by Tector I dont see as meant to be antagonistic but rather a question as to whether if this was really a clipping some objection would have been voiced. I.e. since the jock didnt object probably it didnt happen, i.e it is circumstantial evidence that it didnt happen. I think that's a fair pt. .
