We hear little about his good rides, and very little about other jocks "bad " rides. How about Prado's ride on Round Pond. Why be on the lead there? There were a few speeds lined up, and the horse isn't a need the lead type. Something was obviously wrong with her that day, but why be up on the lead. And I know there is no way to defend his ride on Pulpiteer a few weeks back. As bad or worse as I have seen this year. Take a peek at that one and tell me what you think.
