ahhhhh just lost my post so here goes again. ashton fitzpatrick would be my choice of jockey of course
!!!!!! yes shes a very close friend but she can definately ride! she rides a very smart race and doesnt get her horses beat and can win on the front or from way out of it but shes extremely good at breaking a horse from the gate!
as far as the mena/leparoux debate goes......... miguel is a talented jock no doubt. i saw him at turfway a couple of weeks ago and it seems hes matured alot as a person which is a big positive considering he was very cocky when he was here and rubbed alotta people the wrong way. hes very guidry-esque in my mind as a rider since hes very good on a closer......beat us on 1 in a terrific ride last friday night@tp. on the front end hes lacking but has gotten somewhat better in that respect. i remember as a bug he fell asleep on a horse and cost the horse on the wire and dooley embarrassed him with his racecall for it at arlington! elzey is doing wonders for him on and off the track, hes matured in both respects as i mentioned. julien is still the better rider of the 2 and was a absolute pleasure to have ride for us@cd this past summer. very interesting to see the heights he ascends to in his career. mena rides 1 for us saturday@tp, hopefully were takin a picture with him!
