I know you're trying to get as much mileage out of your new nickname for him as possible, but it's a little tough to pin this on Leparoux. Why the rider of Shadowbdancing enabled Fort Larned to establish such an easy lead is a little tough to determine.

i don't think anyone could have done anything else with dan-he was clearly a victim of the pace. leparoux might be due criticisms on occasion, but i don't think was one of those tiimes.

Successful Dan is as good early speed as Fort Larned, so your argument is unjust...

Leparoux did on this ride the same thing he always does, rides with WAY too much patience. I am not sure if it is because he is almost always on the chalk, but for some reason rides like the rest of the filed cannot beat him, no matter where is at... almost always giving his horses too much to do too late.

So he is Pat Day, but even more so.

I think Pat Day was as much Pat Day as anyone should dare. Obviously JL cannot pull it off.
