He has yet to run even somewhat straight through the lane and for as much as I respect Tagg as a horseman he cannot seem to right this guy. Count me off the bandwagon, I am officially confused in regards to the Derby.

Well,I am sure that if you watch this race today,you will see Prado do various things to fck with this horse's head.Right? Who did Prado cut off into the 1st turn? When they come into the stretch,doesn't Prado go just wide enough that he causes the horse to have to change his line? With many horses,this stuff done by other jocks wouldn't cost them that much,but this horse just seems to constantly be going at a lot different speeds than other horses.When he lugs in a little,he has to be momentarily taken up(because he runs right up on another horse's heels .)His stride is just bigger,and is not going their speed.So,if he lugs in a bit,then he has to be stopped from clipping them.Believe me,Prado did what he could to take advantage of this.You can see by just looking at the head-on that he is much more talented,but he is a lot more awkward than them.
