I follow his stable real closely

Lara or Roussel?
Lara was hot, hot, hot at the beginning of the FG meet, then he went to Oaklawn.
(EDIT:Oooops, I was thinking of Jorge Lara, scratch that statement.)

Yeah, it's good to see Roussel come back, he has aged though.
They got nice write up from Bob Fortus in the Times Picayune sports section.
They both looked happy in the paddock on the 29th, thought Ronnie LaMarque was going to break out in a song....

I'll be interested to see what the colt does on Sat. big step up, but like you said I wouldn't leave him out either.
