But, he gives me free rein to run when I want to run the horses.” Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado, his regular rider, was able to get away alone on Writingonthewall through easy fractions of :24.45, :48.91 and 1:12.40 before pulling away in the stretch for a three-quarter-length win. “He gets along so good with this horse. He did the same thing last week,” Martin said. “When the one horse [Ro- mans Reward] took back, I was really feeling it. I thought that horse was going to be difficult with the pace factor, but it never materialized and Edgar put them to sleep. He’s great at doing that; getting horses to relax on the lead.” Same place next week? “It’d be nice,” Martin said. “I’ll take it.”
