Leparoux to ride Happy Ticket

I'm sure Steve Byk is ultra-relieved to read this...Albarado and jockey agent Lenny Pike had an agreement to travel around and follow Happy Ticket all year up to the Breeders' Cup Distaff, but I guess them and trainer Andy Leggio and owner Stewart Madison must have broken off the verbal agreement...

..I like Robby, but this was the right decision for this mare...She'll be mighty tough this weekend under Leparoux...

I absolutely love this mare..
