Jara or Leparoux

[slotdirt]

Can Napravnik be a choice?

Lepar, not a question in my mind.

[Seattleallstar]

Leparoux in a heartbeat!

Rosie had a pretty nice day on Preakness day - she won the turf sprint stakes and atleast one other I believe but I think she'd be in over her head at Toga right now. I'd take Leparoux any day over Jara, but both will be very good riders very soon

Leparoux is a flat out talent but you know what? At teh end of the day Jara is going to be a better rider. Leparoux is older than Jara and jara is already a tremendously strong rider. Watch him down the lane in a race. He rides the hair off of them and he whips hard and switches sticks better than Leparoux. He already has what? 4 grade one wins this year? hes starting to get mounts from better trainers more consistently and hes gonna get better. I say Jara accomplishes more the next 5 years.

Wouldnt disagree at all Oracle. Also have to remeber that Jara is still only 18 years old until December so Leaproux has about 5 years experience on him. Plus Leparoux is getting mounts from Biancone's strong stable. Really have to respect Jara, especially on the closers. Always seems to have em flying late.

Jaras strong point is his patience which is also something that gets him in trouble when an opening dosent develope and he gets trapped, When he has the horse he is very agressive when the opening appears. Mos all of the jockey can get outside and win with the best horse but Jara looks for the trip taking the short cut and finding the hole, Thus giving his horse the best shot without spotting the competion a few lengths with a wide trip. The frenchman just seems to always get the most from his mouts no matter the class of the race. I would take either.
