I DON”T OWN ANYTHING Edgar S. Prado (born June 12, 1967 in Lima, Peru) is a US Racing Hall of Fame jockey in thoroughbred horse racing. Now a resident of Hollywood, Florida in 2004 Prado became the 19th jockey in thoroughbred racing history to win 5000 races.

(However, Barbaro was euthanized by veterinarians at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center on January 29, 2007.) Other racing accomplishments include victories in the 2002 and 2004 Belmont Stakes, in each case aboard a longshot depriving a favorite of the United States Triple Crown.

Edgar Prado is such an inspiration to me! My sister is friends with him and he always invites us to Belmont and Saratoga racetrack, and he is the nicest most amazing person I’ve ever met!

I caught a documentary about Barbaro on HBO. I was both touched and impressed by his attitude towards the horse. He made several visits to him (from what I could tell) while trying to recuperate at the veterinary hospital.

He is still missed to this day and we remember him through his brothers and the full sister that La Ville Rouge is carrying.
