Leparoux cannot hang with the big boys...

[The Bid]

Guys, when he won all those stakes as a bug he carries the weight. This kid is no unpolished, average rider.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

the kid is a very good rider, soon to be great

i cannot belive some of the things im reading on this site about this kid i watched him tear saratoga up this summer bug or not hes already one of the big boys

How can you bash Nakatani, I think he is one of the best in the game no doubt. I always get my moneys worth when I bet him.

Well it's in his genes to surrender when there's no chance of victory.

Yeah he's a very talented rider but The Bid is right. he can be very arrogant and it hurts him sometimes. Just curious what you have against Leparoux.

I don't know about NDhomer, but I don't like him because he's french.

Lep has me by the balls. I have yet to score on this kid. I bet him, he is off the board...I don't, he hands me my ass...

Same here. It's because he's french.

most likely PP...cuz Blanc is the same way....

but Rene Douglas has given me some great rides when I need them...maybe he is only 1/2 french...

It has to be hard for JuLep to be motivated going back to Turfway Park. If you consider the better venues where he could be riding, to go back to Turfway and ride mostly bottom level horses on that track in the cold has to be a setback. I know he's tied to Biancone -- but being the top jock at CD, KEE, not to mention his success at SAR, hardly lends well to recidivism at Turfway Park.

The guy has to be wishing he was at Gulfstream every day. Sunshine . . . palm trees . . . ocean breezes . . . hell yeah.

He wouldn't do well at GP, too competitive. I think Julian is just having a sophmore slump, but he is still one of the best jockeys out there. I put him just a notch above Bejarano. It's a shame that J. Bridgmohan had that spill, he could have made for an interesting meet at GP.

Like what has already been said on this thread, the thing I have against Lep is I can never catch him. I bet him and he is nowhere to be found, and when I leave him out I see his ass in the winners circle. Don't get me wrong, I was big on him last year like everyone else was, but I think he is just a little dissapointing right now.

if you two aint never had your ass whipped by a guy that is 5'8" (cough...5' 7 3/4")....you are both working on it...
