Congrats to Edgar Prado for notching his 7,000th career win. I've always been a big fan of Edgar - he's probably my all-time favorite rider. Not only is he a magician on horses, just a super nice guy. Pulled off plenty of major upsets including Birdstone & Sarava in the Belmont Stakes and Shared Account in the 2010 BC Filly Turf, just to name a few. He had an obviously strong bond with Barbaro, made an effort to connect with fans (have heard stories about him randomly taking fans with special needs kids into the jockey's room at Saratoga), and helped Javier Castellano when he lost his reins: ihearthorses.com/this-jockey-shows-true-sportsmanship-when-another-rider-loses-his-rein/I hope he continues to occasionally pop up at Saratoga.
