I did not see that or hear it, but when the crowd starts getting loud around the eighth pole And the horse is in front by himself and especially a first time starter, he can easily lose focus, and start thinking about the noise that he is not used to. It’s not noisy on the apron in the morning. That noise takes a little bit of getting used to and if you’re in front in your mind starts to wander, it doesn’t take long to start thinking about that.
