One of my ol d favorites

Yea !
Eager Prado is one of my favorites . I had one of the biggest win bets on a horse I never actually handicapped with Prado as the Jockey. A $85 winner at Parx
It was a Monday afternoon . Late in the day. like race 8 .
I was still working a day job. A friend of mine suggested I follow 1 trainer, . Sort of a play on the yellow manual " own you stable exercise. He suggested I follow trainer P. Farro
I had started betting Farro horses the previous Saturday and Sunday,
Then On Monday I saw Farro had 1 horse running in race 8 but I had not worked the race will Validator yet . I drove to the Meadowlands and just got the in time for race 8
I bet $2 accross the board on Farro,s horse who was 30/1 on the tote when I punched in the bet . I had no time to look at validator I just bet blindly.
I WON As i headed to the winners window i heard a few woulda coulda shoulda patrons says saying the name of the jockey
And it was Prado. I always remember him for that. Thanks and I sure appreciate 1 of your
many wins
Congrats

Bill
