I will go to my grave believing that Prado KNEW something was wrong before he even entered the gate, and didn\'t have the guts to speak up because of the pressure to race. Several times he looked back at his right hind during the post parade.

jbelfior: Sekrah--That\'s pure garbage. I personally know Edgar Prado and he told me afterwards he was as shocked as anyone that happened.

Good Luck,

joemama: Where was the track vet after the horse broke though the gate?

sekrah: Get a copy of the full broadcast and watch it, and then come back and tell me that he didn\'t know.  I don\'t care how well you know Edgar Prado or what he told you. If he told you that, I\'m calling him a liar right now.

He absolutely knew. He repeatedly crooked his head back at the right hind and had a concerned look on his face.

jbelfior: Next time you see him, tell him yourself. Let us know how that goes.

Good Luck,

richiebee: Greatest. Seminar. Tease. EVER.

My hope is that AmPhar draws a far outside post and Nopayat decides to scratch El
Kabeer and Mr. Z to move the big guy inside. Who is going to be the one to tell D.
Wayne Lukas he won\'t be running a horse in the Derby? Can you say \"text message\"?

I saw that horse before the Derby, he stood still taking in everything around him.  Completely different horse in Maryland, couldn\'t sit still very agitated.  The horse wasn\'t right and all those connected knew it.
