The paddock can be amazing. You see horses throw their riders, head butt handlers and go on to win. The key is to know atypical behavior and that is difficult to know with all the travel these put in. You just can't get familiar with their personality in the paddock. Others look like they are 1/2 asleep and go on to win. From reading here, I'd be more concerned if Adriano looked cool calm and collected in the paddock .
I recall Macho Uno was typically a handful prior to a race. I saw Orseno saddle him at the Spa as MU refused to stop walking around wherever he pleased. But he was all business when the race started.
