Julien Leparoux heading to Southern California

[Goofonroof]

A tough risk that Talamo is doing. Leparoux is known as a patient come from behind rider on the turf and that's camp victory's style so those are positives there. Great chance for that one.

Both capable. Both will be big longshots. CF 15-1. CV 30-1 +

I like to say that talamo is more known IMO as a come from behind rider and specialty on turf too.

After watching his ride on Obviously in yesterday's Arroyo Seco I would have to agree with you.

Not on that horse he won't be.

CF is a free wheeling front end horse. Don't fight him or you end up getting nothing.

That also describes Obviously. Maybe even moreso.

Most certainly. Two need the lead types.

Yeah also got tired in the del mar mile too. Coming into stretch runs, talamo is now turning into slowly but surely a strong finisher. Before, he wouldn't be that strong but now seeing him now this year talamo is more of a factor when it comes to a photo finish. So certainly he'll have good chemistry on a come from behinder rather than a speedster

Frenchy would get stuck behind a wall of horses in a one horse race.

Over the years Ju-Lep as I like to call him has been a big source of frustration for me as when I bet him he seems to always find a way to get trapped behind horses. Or like my buddy likes to say, Ju-Lep will find a way to get blocked in a two horse race, lol.

But in all fairness Ju-Lep must be given credit where credit is due. He is a very good grass rider which most Euro's are & if you back him when he's not on the obvious favorite in grass races usually there will be positive rewards forth-coming. This means back him in grass races when his mounts are hovering above $3-1.

Now I'm not sure how his grass riding form will transfer to So. Cal's speed favoring grass racing, however I do think that he can adapt after a couple of weeks, especially in those races with true competitive early pace battles.

The key as always will be to not go overboard on the horses he will be riding for his Father'nLaw Mitchell & back him when he's riding those $3-1 or higher grass runners.

He better not put any bad rides here and especially since mike Mitchell will be like his major client out here in California
