Steve heard from someone that some horses seem to be getting a little distracted with the new jumbotron...you hearing anything about this or is this just rumor mill stuff?

It's directly addressed above in the General a Rod blurb. And was on Night School. And today on air as well.

Horses are naturally curious and take in everything in there eye shot. They notice things that are new and out of place from their previous experience. But the big building is just as likely to catch their attention if they've never seen it as the new video screen.

In the Wood, Wicked Strong was turning his head toward the stands. Wonder if this screen could be a distraction on race day?

SATURDAY NOTES:

Medal Count and Candy Boy were best of this morning but neither were sparkling 'Derby' works. Both were efficient efforts that saw them get through smoothly.

The rest of those that drilled today were wholly unspectacular with Commanding Curve a notable disappointment after galloping with verve all week leading up to today.

Chitu 'galloped' and it looked to be a struggle. (Privman actually updated subsequently on his training in a special bar shoe).

General a Rod was out earlier in the morning as Maker continues to tinker with him 2 mornings in a row after the funky work Thursday. Went much better today and is apparently going to get an added drill. The other pair of MM's were just OK with Vicar's in Trouble a C+ at best and Harry's Holiday a C today..
