Since Julien has lost his bug things have changed some. Prior to this I would have never even asked my trainer to get him up on my horses knowing that he would not ride for a small timer like me. But it does go to show you how things change when he was at my barn last week trying to hustle mounts for my horses.

I will say that Julien is very good after the race in talking with you about your horse. I appreciate it alot and I think he has good instincts.

I have not had Mena up so I do cannot compare him with Julien in that regards.

For what its worth right now I like Dean Butler up on my horses at TP.

thanks
