Adriano

[hockey2315]

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.

How is he better than Sedgefield?

[Cajungator26]

Sedgefield is better than that nag of a brother he has too.

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.

Actually had a real good day, great week actually, until about 5pm till about 6:30pm. Garbage.....

(do)nut gobbler? Interesting in what that is or what it should be

Sorry for the interjection.
But it is very interesting.

Scavs no ill-will, but this
gambler,s "rage" stuff is interesting.
Other posters have clearly displayed
it. And of course we see it at the
track all the time.

I think a beer...errr cookies and milk
would help all concerned. All you guys
basically seem like good peeps to me.

Pillow will now strike me upside the head
with a tire iron. Excuse the sap Mr. Pillow sir.

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.

Let me take a second here to FINALLY address this:

There are cases where horses get perfect setups running from the rear: these would be races contended on the front end, and followed by middle moves, that ultimately collapse. There was a 2 horse duel in that turf race. NOTHING else ran. Adriano closed 'on his own' and he WIPED OUT the field. In other words, while he was drawing off the last split, EVERYTHING else was going backwards. To say that he got a good setup would be to miss the point. (To look at complicated races, as those on the turf typically are, only in terms of how fast the splits are, would also be missing the point; but we really don't want to get into that.)

We need, at a minimum, to be able to distinguish between those races where horses run exceptionally and those where they get good setups, and run well as a result.

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.

A thread on Adriano is on the verge of reaching 3 pages. There is no hope for mankind.
