Default Leparoux To Ride In NY; Napravnik coming too..

http://blogs.courier-journal.com/rac...g-to-new-york/



Jockey Julien Leparoux, who has won nine riding titles at Churchill Downs and six at Keeneland since 2006, is moving his tack to New York after Kentucky Derby Week this spring.



“It’s just hard to keep moving all the time, and the money’s in New York,” Bass said. “As soon as Churchill’s over, we don’t have anything to do for three or four weeks. And the same thing happens when Saratoga is over. We could go to Belmont, but you’re only there three or four weeks before you to Keeneland. It just makes more sense to go to Belmont and stay through the fall.”

He said they could be back for Churchill’s fall meet, which is after Belmont has closed for the year and racing moves on to Aqueduct. Leparoux will ride Keeneland’s spring meet full-time and figures to go back and forth between Belmont and Keeneland in the fall, the agent said.

Anything that gives David Cohen fewer undeserved live mounts, I'm all for. Leparoux will ride circles around most of the NYRA jocks on turf, so it's a smart move.

So unfortunate for racing in Kentucky. As long as the people of Ky remain on the sidelines on the gaming issue their will be a steady stream of stallions, horses, trainers, and jockeys to leave the state.

Rosie Napravnik, who barring misfortune is on her way to a second straight riding title at Fair Grounds, will move her tack to New York as soon as the meet in New Orleans ends April 1. Napravnik, who plans to remain in New York throughout the summer, said she’ll be represented by agent Matt Muzikar.

She was very good at Laurel when she had the bug.

She simply makes too many tactical errors. Her career has advanced very nicely...it's a shame her riding ability hasn't.

I don't watch much FG, but she was pretty solid when she rode at Aqueduct in 2009 and 2010.

The colony is already the best, and these are 2 huge name additions. Another reasson to be excited about NYRA racing.

I went back and looked at her numbers from then and she did ride at near takeout ROI levels at AQU.



She's better than Chantal...not that a statement like that says anything. However, I can name a laundry list of guys who are struggling at mid-level and minor circuit tracks who are simply all-around better riders.

If she could stay healthy, she'd be a top 10 Jock in the country. IMO

I don't get the Rosie hype either.

Did Julien give up on New York? Or just not getting the mounts?

He is riding in NY. He started off a little slowly but has shown some improvement of late.

I'm gonna eat some crow here. Leparoux really hasn't gotten a foothold in NY yet. I expect his business to pick up at SAR but his Belmont performance has been undisputably disappointing. Cohen still sucks though.

If Saratoga plays like it did last year on the turf with a lot of front end winners he will struggle. I think he is much better coming off the pace.
