Adriano went to the paddock to school Saturday, during racing, and suffice to say that he'll be going back. Haskin saw him being taken towards the building and caught up to him and his handlers to watch the session. He reports that while Adriano didn't get 'wet' or lathered, the veins were throbbing throughout his body, he was showing similar signs of agitation and was tough to handle. But overall, he may have done better than anticipated.

That was no Derby crowd he faced in the paddock yesterday.

I forget where I read it ... from a jockey last year, perhaps? Chuck Simon? Someone mentioned that not only is the roaring crowd all over the horses on the right as they come home, but on the left, too, due to infield and the luxury villages in the infield - said the horses turn for home and it's like running into a narrow canyon.
Edit: No intent to imply, express or implicit, that Chuck Simon is a jockey. Not that he couldn't be a jockey. If he wanted to. Perhaps.
