This is ridiculous, for openers. And, Prado deserves more credit than he is getting from you & some others (here & elsewhere.) You think this was something more than a bad step breakdown at the most unfortunate of moments, fine. But please stop with the comparisons betw. the Derby winner & your avg. Penn National claimer. I don't believe I've ever encountered more histrionics from seemingly informed people.
