Default Union Rags

A question for anyone familiar with the Churchill infield. Do they have the large matrix boards that show the races? Union Rags shifted out at about the same point in the Juv. that he did in the Saratoga Special on that dreary dark wet day in mid August. I remember reading Castellano's quote that he shied from seeing the light of the board that day. Wondering if we'll see him with blinkers in the Spring.

I'm way too familiar with the Churchill infield. The large boards are across the track on the backstretch, but most people who dare to go out there really don't care.
