The Leonard Lopate Show

A Jockey's Love for Barbaro

Jockey Edgar Prado was riding Barbaro in the 2006 Preakness when the horse stumbled and shattered a leg; he says that Barbaro was his "friend, teammate, and hero." His new book is My Guy Barbaro. Mr. Prado also rode in this past Saturday’s Kentucky Derby and saw firsthand that race’s tragic end when Eight Belles had to be put down.

Listen to Leonard’s recent interview with the filmmakers of “The First Saturday in May,” a documentary about training horses for the Kentucky Derby

Wonderful to hear Mr.Edgar Prado speaking, as the whole horse mystique is essentially silent and he has spent his whole life out there, thinking hard.
