Kentucky Derby Prep Races - Lane's End Stakes Results
Coming off a poor performance at last month's Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park, Adriano surprised the oddsmakers and critics to capture Saturday's $500,000 Lane's End Stakes at Turfway Park. Lane's End is one of the few remaining major Kentucky Derby prep races left on the schedule.
Owned by Courtlandt Farms, Adriano's prize on the day was a cool $300,000.
"This is a very proud moment," said owner Donald Adams of Courtlandt Farms. "We've been in the business a long time and we haven't had major success. Days like this make up for the lean years. He's very, very big and he's just starting to grow into himself. He has that stride that just eats up the ground. Edgar (Prado) rode a beautiful race."
As to whether or not Adriano will be racing at the Kentucky Derby, trainer Graham Motion isn't ready to make that call yet.
"We've still got to talk about it some more," Motion said Monday from Florida. "I wanted to get the horse back here to train while I'm in Dubai. I'll see how he's doing when I get back and assess it further. The Derby? It's unlikely at this point, but like I said before the race, never say never. Let's get him back here and see how he's doing."
