If he is so smart, why is he using a 1/9 horse in his wagering and then blaming the trainer for the loss? If he truly knew anything, he would have realized that the 5 was the only closer in a four horse field with three horses that wanted the lead. Pretty simple if you ask me.

Yes, if anyone blew the race it was Prado. He was up there three-wide on a suicide pace. I don't know if it was necessairly Prado's fault because the horse may have been a little rank. Oracle is very knowledgable but he's not always consitent with his criticisms. I remember once he was bashing Gomez for moving too soon when Gomez took the lead on a horse at the 1/8th pole. Prado takes the lead at the 3/8th pole on Songster which is a 100x more of a premature move, yet there was no crticism of Prado.
By the way, if Prado could have gotten Songster to relax and could have sat about 4 lengths off the lead and not taken the lead until the 1/8th pole, I think he would have definitely won the race.
