if adriano at all takes to dirt, and he's bred much better for dirt racing than turf racing, this race is over.
his 2nd dam was the very nice theatrical mare golden treat, who couldnt run a step on turf, but did manage to set a track record for 4.5 furlongs on dirt and later won the santa anita oaks. golden treat herself is also a half sister to the greatly under appreciated bet twice.
his last race was spectacular, so either he just really loved the gp turf, or he has matured and developed.
my only question is why were they running this horse on turf in the first place?
