Probably Leparoux but the gap between the two isn't as big as some may believe. Mena always has had talent; he just is getting better mounts and a chance to showcase it. When he left Chicago to go to Ellis I thought he would be leading rider down there and I cashed on him quite a bit.

If the race was on turf then I would go with Leparoux. However, both are very good on dirt. Leparoux seems to have a little something extra when he rides on the grass. Also, Leparoux is totally awesome when it comes to giving feedback on your horse. He prob the best in the business when it comes to that. We have some very good jocks out there that are under the age of 30.

Now if one can only understand what he's saying.

I hear Bridgmohan isn't doing well over the Inner dirt now but the guy was very, very good in 2005. Good enough to ride Asmussen's best horses, wherever they were. I think Shaun is best on closers, and the inner dirt really isn't suited to that style.

ANna is already a much more polished rider than Rosemarry will ever be

We'll see how she does without the bug. And though Homeister is no longer very good, she has won about 1800 races so Napravnik has a long way to go.

Rosemary used to be a far better rider not long ago than she is now. She beat out Cornelio and Eibar to win a Hialeah meet riders title about 6-7 years ago.

I remember when she was a good rider, unfortunately its only a memory

I think Anna will be as serious as any female rider can be
