Adriano

[CSC]

There are not many horses that have started their career on turf that went on to the derby and win it. The obvious one is Barbaro who was a special horse, I know I used the Barbaro comparison earlier. But to me a knowledgable horseman in Graham Motion wouldn't have started him on turf, ran him exclusively on that surface until trying a dirt race at GP If he thought he was better on dirt. I think it's very safe to surmise that Adriano is not a second coming of Barbaro. If he does go onto the derby demand a big price on him!
