Jockey Prado injured at Saratoga

Edgar Prado, winner of the last two jockey titles at Saratoga, was injured in an accident following Saturday's seventh race. He became unseated from his mount after crossed the finish line and was tended to for several minutes on the clubhouse turn of the inner turf track. Initial reports are that Prado suffered an injury to his ankle, but that he was conscious. Still awaiting official word from NYRA as the Grade I Forego is set to go off in two minutes.

Right now, Midnight Lute (with Shaun Bridgmohan up in place of Prado) is the second choice behind morning-line favorite High Finance.
