Well until trainers stop calling him I guess he will ride.

Use your dislike to your advantage. if he's on a horse that's less than 3-1, don't bet him. Scratch him out in every race. It takes him out of the race and therefore you may have better success at better odds.

[quote=asudevil;1038367]It's time for Mr. Prado to hang up his tack. The performance today on Run of the River in the Spa 8th was absolutely deplorable. Yes, I bet the horse. Yes, he was a key in my multi-race plays. He did everything possible to not give the best horse in the race any opportunity to win. I won't describe each call, watch the replay and shake your head. My frustration was validated by the bevy of tweets from well respected handicappers. A friend mentioned that Shug may have wanted to give Edgar an easy W at the Spa. Probably true.


Saw the replay....elected to stay on the rail, always risky...steadied when the #1 horse cut in front of him, he is screwed at that point in the race.

but I've seen worse from other "great" jocks. all part of the game.
