He seems to be going the Prado route, quickly. When he was at his best, Rosario and Bejerano couldn't touch him.

no cares about riding at HP summer, if you did real well there it means you missed most of the big summer event days back east.

Other than Rosario going east, when has the Southern California colony been any better than what is riding at Hollywood right now in any part of the year the last couple of years?

Not sure....my point was using the standings at HP summer to judge how a rider is doing in the socal circuit is like using Aqu winter to judge who is doing well in NY. You actually only want to be there a few weekends a during the whole meet.

Looks like Nakatani is coming back to Socal. Tweet from Christina Oliveras just a few minutes ago.

I have not followed him in recent years but I always like him as a rider.

Things were going good there until you brought up luzzi.

I'd seriously take CC Lopez over him every day of the week.

Not sure of Rosario's early record in NY, but I know I won't overlook him on anything on the turf or from well off the pace. Maybe the best finisher in the game IMO.

you are way off. i watched him in the 8th at bel. he had a ton of hoss and was so patient, i thought he was holding him. he just confidently reeled him in and rolled around the field easily. Anything he rides must be included.

At Belmont, Rosario is 2 for his first 7 with 2 places.

He will be a value play for only a short time. Until the east coast bias wears itself off.. He is 500x a better rider than the french statue everyone likes to bet.

If he chooses to stay in NY, I predict you guys here will be singing his praises by the end of Saratoga.

Leparoux is far from a top rider on the east coast.
