Also, Leparoux hasnt even been riding for 5 yrs in the states and yet he has achieved more than Dominguez. At this point, you can argue if Dominguez is better than Russel Baze or not.

The overlay of the day on Fri was a turf route at CD in the 6th yesterday on Coulee with Leparioux riding, only 6 betting choices and Julien at almost 11-1. Leparioux gave the horse a flawless trip. Though I believe Ramon is more efficient with cover in turf races, Leparioux has a knack for getting horses to produce in the stretch. He's been very good this week and anytime you see a price on him I would certainly give him a second look.
