I'm sure when you are a jockey in your later 50s your skills will diminish .
Not a bad ride for Edgar here. Let's also give props when they are warranted as well. We all like to bury the dead or near dead, let's give kudos once in a while too.

No matter he's old for a jockey. 48/56 it's old for a jockey. Was still a good ride and worthy of kudo or two vs the getting ripped open a new one for a bad ride a week or two earlier. If it's worth the negative comments a little praise Once in a while or pat on the back can't hurt once in a while.

No one defended him before the Kings Bishop. He has thrown more then 1 horrible ride at Saratoga. He did nothing wrong in the Kings Bishop, he never got in the horses way..... That's how its supposed to be, but he didn't really do anything special. The horse ran a huge race on everyone's figures. I am confident it had nothing to do with Prado. The trainer is absolutely beautiful though, that could have had something to do with it.

Well until trainers stop calling him I guess he will ride.

Use your dislike to your advantage. if he's on a horse that's less than 3-1, don't bet him. Scratch him out in every race. It takes him out of the race and therefore you may have better success at better odds.
