Did anyone catch the Scott Hazelton interview of Robbie todayon HRTV when he asked him about him riding Einstein?
Albarado looked like he was going to go completely off after that question and poor Hazelton was just dying, wishing he hadn't asked.
Classic.

With Blue Exit breaking down in the Big Cap, it definitely was not a good day for Albarado. I wonder how Albarado lost the mount on Einstein following the Arlington Million -- he may have had a conflict on November 28 to prevent him from riding Einstein in the Clark Handicap or Pitts may have switched to Leparoux since he was red hot during the fall Churchill meet.
Julian Leparoux is definitely an up-and-coming jockey right now and should continue to pick up better mounts. Breaking away from being exclusive to Biancone may have been the best thing for his career.
