The victory marked the eighth time in 14 stakes races during the winter meet that a New York trainer had won.
"Nobody gave me instructions," said Castellano, who had been named to ride another New York entrant, Mint Lane, but picked up the winning mount when that horse was scratched. "I went to the paddock and saw a nice, big, good-looking horse."
Racing Notes: Jockey Sheldon Russell was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore after his mount, Positive Note, broke down on the backstretch during the fifth race. The horse, a 3-year-old filly trained by Tim Tullock, was euthanized on the track. No report on Russell's condition was available.
One race later, jockey Oliver Castillo was thrown from his mount, Fourthirteen, moments after taking the lead in deep stretch. The hind end of the horse, a 7-year-old gelding, appeared to momentarily lock up, causing him to falter. Both jockey and horse were not badly injured.
Assistant starter Jeff Dzbynski suffered minor injuries when 3-year-old filly Punchintina flipped in the starting gate before the second race . . .
Adriano, who finished ninth after a troubled trip last month in the Fountain of Youth Stakes, rebounded with a powerful performance, dominating 11 other 3-year-olds to win the Grade II $500,000 Lanes End at Turfway Park.
Ridden by jockey Edgar Prado, Adriano, trained by Graham Motion, ran the 1 1/8 -mile race in 1:50.20 seconds.
