It is not often that I choose to remember a horse so soon after his retirement, but the news that Paddy O' Prado's racing career had come to an end hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. I had the good fortune of seeing Paddy several times in person last year, and whether the race was on turf or dir...Read More

Pretty horse.. too bad about his injury!

II), has been retired after a career in which he posted five wins, three seconds, and three thirds from 15 starts, with earnings of $1,721,297.

  • medlocke · What a shame!! Paddy O' Prado had a pretty rare quality about him in that he had proven to be very durable on conventional dirt, synthetics, and turf all three!! Something you very rarely see in a horse. I personally thought that Paddy O' Prado had begun to excel on turf, in-particular, and that he would eventually replace Gio Ponti as America's best turf horse. Once Gio Ponti was retired. A big loss for American racing. I always thought Paddy O' Prado was a pretty classy horse!! · 371 days ago ·

Is he retired? I sure hope not.
Very disappointed by the news that Paddy O'Prado (America's best turf horse) has been retired,
If you are reading this then you, like me, survived the end of the world talk. So, we have that going for us. What we don't have going for us is a Triple Crown possibility in next month's Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom was valiant in defeat, coming from far back and weaving thr...Read More

Heavy favorite Paddy O'Prado lived up to his top billing with a driving 1-1/2 length score in the Grade 2 Dixie Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday. Baryshnikov looked like the main competition on paper and he took the early initiative under Julien Leparoux. He set tepid splits of :24.76, :49.07, and 1:14...Read More
  • mark9811 · At 3/5 and against a bunch of elephants he only needed a six month layoff to beat 'em. I had $200 to W and P on him in the derby last year..we all know what happened next. Good running today though and hopefully a start of a good year for him. · 372 days ago ·

  • zatt · Thanks Cigar ... yes, Chamberlain was close on both the sprint and turf list, not sure where to put him. My guess is Morning Line turns the tables on Rule in the Donn, but I have big respect for him. Solid selections, BayRoan ... not ready to Honor & Serve ahead of Mo, though. ;-) · 482 days ago ·

  • tiznow · Morning Line I haven't gave up on you yet...hoping he rebounds with a nice performance in the Donn. Caracortado=grass...I hope the connections stick with this simple equation. Dialed In jumped to my number 2 but one could very well argue to keep To Honor And Serve at 2, but Uncle Mo is clealy the 1. I'm still keep Dancing at my 1 over Kathmanblu...I loved how she was flying at the end off the layoff. · 482 days ago ·
