never seen anything like that before.

very cool move by edgar and slick of jj to catch the rein in 1 try.

ESPN showed that during their broadcast this weekend. Bailey said that even he'd be lucky to grab it on the first try 1 out of 10 and couldn't believe Prado was able to do it.

but i bet dutrow would say that kent is the better rider.

just being facetious with the above. i saw the story the other day, really cool stuff. edgar is a good guy, easy to root for. unlike some in this sport.

I agree 100% and it's a nice thing to see a class act react accordingly in racing. Can't say, nor heard a bad thing about him.

Nicest people I've meet at AP the last couple of years were Pat Day and actually Julien Leparoux (even with meeting Bailey and Stevens). Leparoux was a very nice guy and a pleasure to talk to for a few minutes.
