re: Jockey in race before Kentucky Derby

The stunning development was that LSU owner Larry Sarf did not attend Louisiana State University. The stable's silks may be purple and gold like the Tigers of the South, and Sarf's son, Randy, can be seen at the races in Louisiana State-like jackets and sneakers. Yet the patriarch of LSU Stables grew up near Coney Island and sold knishes on the beach, lives on Long Island, and has much more of a New York accent than a Cajun tone.

"We'll probably get an award from LSU," said Larry Sarf, who explained the LSU stems from his wife Leslie (L), Sarf (S), and a Distorted Humor filly (U, with the H dropped from Humor).
