Paddy O'Prado injury forces retirement

[blackthroatedwind]

The Pick-3 with Paddy O'Prado was paying $1800+. The Pick-3 that hit paid like $700 and change. The eventual Pick-4 paid $8K...so it's not unreasonable to assume the Pick-4 would have been in excess of $15K if Paddy O'Prado won. A beat that still haunts me, especially given the horrible ride Mena gave him, and that he did not ride again at the meet. Plus, Paddy O'Prado turned out to be a monster.

Too bad about his injury and retirement. He's a good horse.

That still haunts me too. . . I was alive in the PK3 a few times to two horses--Paddy and Citrus Kid--a future GISW and a future SW/GISP.

Really disappointing... probably the 4yo I was most looking forward to coming back.
