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.
