A self-proclaimed artist named Coleman Larkin has gathered poop from 1997 Kentucky Derby winner Silver Charm.
Larkin is selling pieces of the poop in jars for $200 a pop.
According to Larkin, he takes his time with each turd and preserves it through a “top-secret process.”
Here’s more from Lex 18:
Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement President Michael Blowen said that Larkin approached him with the bizarre request. So the poop was gathered and the “turd in a jar” memorabilia was made.
Larkin takes his time with each turd.
“You got to get it fresh,” he told LEX 18. “That’s super important. They got to have that nice shape.”
He said that every piece of poop is preserved through a top-secret process.
“It’s top secret. I don’t want any of my competitors in the turd-jarring industry to find out how to do this,” said Larkin.
I’m no Derby expert, but this sounds like a load of sh*t to me.
