Default 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.

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.
