No word yet. He looks like a trap to me, though. If he does decide to go and you do bet him, make sure you get a good look at him on the track before taking the plunge. He's a total spaz.

That would suck if Adriano is out as well CAUSE

he's the DREAMIEST

and I've been saving my marble money to bet on him.

If he doesn't run maybe he can spend a few days with Curlin and his pony. Yeah

i think he's pointed to the lexington.

i wouldn't worry about his derby plans until after next saturday.

I thought I read that his connections were opting not to run. I could be mistaken, as with this crop, I haven't caught the 'derby fever' yet.

in the kentucky derby website. The top 20 derby contenders are listed and Adriano is not one of them. He looks to be a huge horse with a long stride. Pedigree on Top and bottom says route, route and I dont see why not there not sending him.

Have you looked at his PPs?

Maybe because he hates dirt?

I think he's a really nice horse, infact I liked him since he debuted at Saratoga last summer. Unfortunately for him, I think he's a very good turf horse, that is good on poly and just average on dirt. Probably The Secretariat Stks or Virginia Derby down the line will be his targets. The good thing is there are some good purses down the line for a horse of this quality if spotted correctly. But there are very few cures for Derby fever! So I wouldn't be surprised if he lines up at CD in May.
