This IMO is very rare as I think jocks have their area of expertise. Leparoux for one IMO is way more effective on Turf coming late. He is a great play against on a favorite needing the lead. Desourmeux of old used to be the same way.
I agree and Bejarano has the same tools, plus they both put their horses in positions to give there horses a shot to win.
