ADRIANO – Courtlandt Farms’ Adriano visited the paddock and starting gate before galloping a mile and a half under Xavier Aizpuru after the renovation break.
“He never has had any problems at the gate and this is just a precaution,” said Alice Clapham, assistant to trainer Graham Motion. “As long as the opportunity is there, we may as well take advantage of it.”

MAJESTIC WARRIOR (A.P. Indy), winless since a scintillating 2 1/4-length victory in the Hopeful S. (G1) at Saratoga, will attempt to return to his winning ways in Saturday's $100,000 Derby Trial S. at Churchill Downs. The opening-day feature will feature 10 sophomores, and the 7 1/2-furlong distance might favor Majestic Warrior, who captured the Hopeful over seven furlongs.
