Default Edgar Prado has had enough

It's time for Mr. Prado to hang up his tack. The performance today on Run of the River in the Spa 8th was absolutely deplorable. Yes, I bet the horse. Yes, he was a key in my multi-race plays. He did everything possible to not give the best horse in the race any opportunity to win. I won't describe each call, watch the replay and shake your head. My frustration was validated by the bevy of tweets from well respected handicappers. A friend mentioned that Shug may have wanted to give Edgar an easy W at the Spa. Probably true.

EP has had a tremendous career. I remember when he broke in on the MD circuit. Success came quickly and lasted for a good 15 years. It's enough already. Kind of like Willie Mays when he played for the Mets at the end of his career.
