Another crazy new Curragh developement that has come in for critical comment is the new big screen overlooking the parade ring. The Curragh Manager said "The quality of the big screen in the parade ring is so good, we’ve found that when there are moving images on screen, it upsets the horses......The horses don’t like the moving images so we’ve found it to be much better to go with a blank screen when they’re in there. That’s why we shut it down when the horses are in the parade ring". Now isn't that just crazy. When the horses are in the parade they turn the screen off because it frightens the runners! So big races being shown from other tracks in UK or France are turned off! Even worse the spokesman added ""If we’re concerned about horses being in the parade ring, we won’t be showing the race, but if we have that gap, we will. If the horses are on the way to the start there would be no problem but we’ll have to take each race on its merits.” So when the horses are not in the parade ring just who does he think will be watching the screen in the ring?
