Miguel Mena. I'd go bankrupt if I put a frenchman on my horse.

Leparoux will be a star

Mena will be riding at Mountaineer eventually

Well look at where he's from and how many times they've surrendered.

I don't think he wants to leave the local "split-tail."

The one thing that I have noticed with Frenchy is that he tends to be wide alot. At Turfway though, he usually is on the best horse.

Hard to answer this question because Mena does not have anywhere near the connections that Lep has, thus limiting his option. Mena gets that opportunity, he will impress. Guy used to be scared but now he is ruthless, I have seen him put people into the rail, trick others to trying to make him drift wide, and just down right take it to people there. He is improved a million fold since riding here at Arlington, he could easily win the riding title here next year I think as long as Douglas doesn't come back

He'll be back at Ellis to defend his title.

He is tied to Biancone, who will return after the winter in Cali . Lepar and Bejarano will be kentucky bound for a long time, imho.
