It's not that I think Lezcano is bad and Leparoux good, I think Lezcano is good and Leparoux is excellent.
Lezcano needs to take tomorrow and relax and get a deep breath because the first four days looked a lot like his entire 2009 Saratoga.

To get a sense of how 'good' Leparoux (and Maker) is, one need only watch his ride on Headache, on 7/02. Reminds me of the way a farmer would ride his (lazy) mule. And for Lezcano, I just don't get what people see in his riding. He's decidedly MEDIOCRE. He rides well when he falls into a trip; nothing more, nothing less.
I mean, it's really time these guys started taking their jobs more seriously and put in some significant time watching races.
