adagio (It.). At ease. Slow (not so slow as largo, but slower than andante). A slow movt. is often called ‘an Adagio’. adagissimo, extremely slow. adagio assai, very slow.


nice name for a horse.

Yes, I would prefer something like Allegretto or Prestissimo.

One thing about IEAH horses is they will never be a price. If one of thier runners should be 5-1 they will usually be 5-2, esp. if Duuutrow is the trainer.

Dreaming of Anna may go favored in the Regret, but High Heels in her turf debut has a strong shot here. First, on class - she was third in the Ky Oaks and three fillies who finished behind her won stakes races last weekend, the Acorn (G1), the Hollywood Oaks (G2), and the Canadian (oops, Woodbine) Oaks. Secondly, her dam was a SW on turf and was a first-out winner on the greensward (I taught you about this word last year, remember?). I'm hoping to be there so I can talk Cinda Hartlage into sneaking me into the winners' circle photo.

Time Squared is at a peak in form, I don't like him as much on the turf at this class and distance.

Adagio is probably a player

Strike a Deal is a decent animal

What about the French horse ?? hes a mystery...

I watched the Dante and I got his last quarter in roughly 24, in spite of the fact he lost ground. Not bad at *10.5 soft turf. I couldn't tell you if the stretch at York is flat...
Adagio showed a turn of foot in the Craven as well.

Mike will have to keep this guy close enough to the pace by the time the other contenders really start to kick if he wants any shot here.
