This is old news actually. Ed Fontaine of the Post had the photo Sunday in the paper and there was early speculation that the starter in white pants on the track and the 15' camera stand both contributed to the colt's early edginess.

Reaction to the photo didn't come from connections. It came from press when they saw it. And the starter is usually on the other side of the rail and closer up. It's not just him either. The tower of photographers is right there too and it's been suggested that it caught his eye too.

If you look really closely, I'm in the middle right portion of the crowd in that picture. Can you see me?

The starter at NYRA is always on the track not inside the rail. Started by Bob Duncan who thought he could see the field better from that vantage point. Most starters are on a little platform inside the rail.
