i don't think it'll ruin him, but i think it's a mistake to run him in the derby.
like they say, you need the right tools for the job-i don't think he's suited to the dirt surface.

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 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.

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..
