Another double-digit stakes winner

For the third consecutive Saturday, your Cybertout handed out a 3-year-old stakes-winner who paid more than $10. This time it was Adriano, who returned $11.60 after dominating by 2 1/2 lengths under wraps in the $500,000 Lane's End Stakes at Turfway Park. He topped a $46.80 exacta with Halo Najib, one of the two I suggested you box with Adriano.

There is no sweeter sound than tooting your own horn, and no more self-indulgent delight than quoting yourself. Ahem .. . here's what I wrote Friday about Adriano:

"Turf specialists usually handle synthetic surfaces, and although I know I'm making a risky leap of faith, I think Adriano has a lot of upside, and the price will be right. He should be able to sit behind a fast pace while saving ground with Edgar Prado . . . He doesn't have a lot to beat here, though, and I think he could be sitting on a career best."

Ca-ching! Once again, I was a prophet who showed a profit. Hurray for me, part 3.

For this boasting, the racing gods may see fit to slap me down, but when you're hot, you might as well style a little bit. I hope you got down on Adriano, too. My only regret is that I didn't bet more on him, but I still made enough to buy plenty of Reese's peanut butter cups to celebrate Easter.
