If Prado n' Albarado had switched horses for that sprint stakes, then Lantana whatever would have drawn away by four lengths. I can't believe people think he is anything more than an average Cajun jock. On the other hand, Borel gave this horse a great ride in the Derby. What other horse was moving that well from behind? They were being very cordial up front. How the hell was he supposed to win that race when he didn't get any good set-up? If I could get Prado for the race, then I would have done it. I'm not saying CORK can't win. Whoever likes the surface (and can get 12f) is going to win that race. You can't fake this race. If you dislike either of those 2 things, you're going to get passed late.
