Thoughts on Leparoux @ Toga
 
How do you guys think he will fair? Seems like the best of the best will be there. I heard they are hard on the youngsters, but J Lep has proved he's far from a typical bug boy. Will he be getting quality mounts and such, that's what I'm curious about.

I think he'll get a lot of mounts, save the stakes races. He'll ride all, or nearly all of Biancone's and the rest of the KY trainers will use him as well as a lot of the NY trainers. He sure showed he can hold his own with anyone at Keeneland. I think he'll crack the top ten and if he gets hot early, even better.

hes just like JR and Bailey, if you always ride the Ferrari vs the fords guess whos gonna win

Well he will be in the top 5 for sure. He will ride 1st call for Biancone, and plus he will ride for trainers all over because of his weight allowance. I think he is right behind Prado and Johnny V in talent.

He'll get his share of decent rides, so I think he'll fair well.
