Hall of Fame Jockey Edgar Prado Took A Spill at Keeneland
Recently entered into the Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado took a spill on the 7th race at Keeneland on April 23 and was sent to the University of Kentucky Medical Center for X-rays. He was released the same day.
“He seems to be OK, and everything checked out fine,” jockey Edgar Prado’s agent, Bob Frieze, said.
The Peruvian jockey, Edgar Prado, was riding Richard Thompson’s 3-year-old Diktat filly bred in Britain, May Meeting, to her 5th start in the 1 1/8-mile allowance race on turf. She dropped Prado soon after the start, but did not appear to be injured, according to reports from Keeneland.
Jockey Edgar Prado has ridden in the last 8 Kentucky Derbys. In 2006, Prado was aboard 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro for horse trainer Michael Matz. Last year, he placed 18th on Todd Pletcher-trained Scat Daddy.
