I realize that Prado has a reputation

He did get quite buried and shuffled back in the La Derby, but he might have needed the race anyways... I'm scratching my head on what to think of this guy in the Derby. I will probably reluctantly toss him.

Be very careful about tossing that Sunday Silence blood.

Because this is one of the rare threads this time of year that started out NOT being about the Kentucky Derby, I think we should at least make an effort to keep it that way. Also, I don't know exactly how those distance numbers are calculated....because I don't pay any attention to them.

As for Prado, I would still take him in a big race over almost any other jock out there.
