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.

has the screen been on in the am or is it merely blacked out?

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

Again Sunday, no one went through their ministrations in eye-popping fashion, but the Pletcher runners were the stars of session as Intense Holiday (v. We Miss Artie) and Danza (v. Vinceremos) easily outperform rest of the Derby workers.
Starlight Racing's Intense Holiday had to delight Johnny V with streamlined 13.1, 25, 48.1, 1:01 move that left We Miss Artie panting. (B+) Danza v. Vinceremos less of mismatch but AR Derby hero clearly best. Continues to move with efficient power over track. 48.4 half and out in 1:02. (B) Intense Holiday made him look bad, but reality is We Miss Artie should be running in the American on Turf and would be for any other owner than Ramsey. (C-) Vinceremos an OK animal but just appears a notch below the top end of these horses. To his credit, dug in and stayed with Danza on the gallop out. (C+)

Chitu had 6f blast from the gate with Party Time as his workmate and looked far better in full flight than in Saturday's choppy Sat. gallop. Goes in 1:13 after 24.1, 36, 48 splits. And apparently lost a shoe in the process. Think he's up against it in Derby, but at least an encouraging move for believers. (B-)

Wildcat Red showed he may need to adjust further to the duller (than Gulfstream) Churchill strip, tiring noticeably in fast early (35.2), slow late 5f (1:04.2). Not an ideal pre-Derby spin. (C)

Ride On Curlin, galloping strongly daily, worked controlled 7f (1:29). Broke slow but 24+ down lane, 37+ final 3f for old school Gowan. (B-)
