The comparisons in this thread make me laugh.. Barbaro, Point Given. Wouldn't Sedgefield be the relevant and accurate comparison?

He's probably better than Sedgefield but I agree - the comparisons are pretty absurd.

I don't know. I think running second to Hard Spun is more impressive than beating a wide Halo Najib.

He's working Sunday at CD.

I'll be there watching and hopefully get a video up.

Sedgefield is barely a high level claimer.

Oh, and Adriano's a legend..

As I said, I'll take a horse that ran second to Hard Spun and fifth in the Derby over a horse that beat a six-wide Halo Najib and got crushed in the Fountain of Youth..

Not me. Adriano won the Lane's End in hand while Sedgefield never threatened Hard Spun. And Scav is right; Sedgefield isn't much anymore.

Yeah, I mentioned Sedgefield. He's the exact same horse as Adriano, if not better. Don't take out your crappy day on me, (do)nut gobbler.

Are YOU serious? What makes Adriano's races "nice" and Sedgefield's not "good"? Sedgefield ran better figures and faced infinitely better horses than Adriano has..

Adriano put up two nice looking performances. One on Turf and one on Poly. His turf race looked good but he did settle behind a really fast pace before he took the race on his own and won by 8. His Lanes End Race he won in hand and just shook off his competetion. He may not like dirt if the FOY tells me anything but who knows what happened that day.

What makes Adriano's races nice and Sedgefield's not so good?

Recency and no perspective.

Once the Derby is over, about 15 horses will be crowned "rats" after people have goo-gooed over them for 90 days.
