Is anyone here a Marine Biologist Sports Journalist?

From Mr. Batzold's hilarious news items section:

Mike Lupica in the New York Daily News: "Has there ever been a time when two different horses won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and neither one of them made it to the Belmont?"

What the hell are you asking me for? I'm a scientist. Too bad we don't have a trained sports journalism professional who could look up the answer.

What exactly is that sentence about anyway? It isn't funny, and I'm pretty sure it isn't an ironic observation by Mr. Lupica that he can do absolutely no work and still get garbage published. We need to bring peer review to the media.
