There is a horse running in the Breeder's Cup this weekend named Oprah Whinney.
In honor of her equine namesake Oprah invited the jockey, Edgar Prado, on her show on Tuesday. Prado, if you remember, was Barbaro's jockey, and don't you know they showed clips and photos of Barbaro winning the Kentucky Derby. Turns out Oprah was a Barbaro fan, like most of the world and that Prado will forever be known as Barbaro's jockey.
Sounds like an amazing opportunity for this book if and when it ever sees the light of day. And also seems like there is still a "market" for the Barbaro story, if Oprah can bring it up two years later.
Be assured, I sent the clip about this to Richard to bring all these elements to his attention. No word back.
