Noticed his horses have been running out of the detention barn.  Does anyone know his record since they\'ve running out of the barn?  I only noticed the last few days.

He\'s had winners, no dropoff really.

Was a real surprise (to me at least) to see Notional move forward  (back to his top??) first time w/o O\' Neal.

Anyone who uses sheets could have never had Notional...Even if he ran back to his top he figured to be 3 lengths slower than the top horses.  I\'m just still getting over him winning...he cost me the pick 4.

Back in LA, we had nicknames for our beloved moveup trainers, such as Vladimir Syringe and the ever popular Drug O\'Neal.

Whoops, I\'m sorry...they just had better farriers than everyone else.

Thanks,  that\'s good to know.  I think Hollywood Park has done a pretty good job this meet with informing the public of equipment changes, including firt time geldings and actually putting the detention barn info in the program.
