Battaglia is all over the place. I never understand his line-making with this thing at all.

I never understood their choices, either- Adriano's connections SPECIFICALLY stated it is unlikely he goes- why not use the slot on someone else?

Generally agree with that, but as it happens, Don Adam now leaning towards running Adriano. That is as of yesterday via some first hand info...

Motion isn't worried about the horse handling the dirt. He's worried about him becoming unglued because of the commotion. He told me off the air that he doubts the colt can handle the Derby atmosphere.

Holy cow...now that's valuable inside info!

Hmmm... interesting. Motion's a damn good trainer and probably knows what's best for his horse- it's amazing more unruly types don't fall apart in the paddock at the Derby, which makes ME come unglued!!!

I guess I feel since like the DFW could be such a great thing with a little bit of work, that we've discussed ad nauseum, that in its current state it's fairly irrelevant.
