Prado on Adriano

[ShadowRoll]

"Obviously I'm thrilled, not only that Edgar's riding him, but that, in doing so, he's endorsing the horse," Motion said.

So, apparently Motion looks at Prado's choice as an endorsement of the horse. Or is this just trainer-speak? One thing that bothers me greatly about Adriano is Motion's concerns that the horse won't handle the crowd at the Derby.

It's obviously an issue, but where did you see Motion comment on it?

DRF. That's what the link is for.

Read that article again and tell me if you see a quote on the subject.

I'm sorry, you meant the comment on the horse not handling the crowd. Motion said it while he was on ATR.

Thanks. Any idea what day?

Not really, just that he's concerned about the horse handling the crowd. Steve commented on Motion's comment in this thread.

Where does that leave Eight Belles? Porter I guess confirmed that he was going to enter both races and decide which one he is running in after the derby draw. If they like the draw they run her on Saturday, if not they run her on Friday. But they released Dominguez for the Derby but he is committed to her in the Oaks. I know it's legal but if he enters and scratches in the Derby because of the post position, it would even sink him to an all new low imo........now with that said, I still think she may be the best 3 year old out there.......
