Posted on Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Jockey Julien Leparoux rode 7 winners on the Veterans Day card Tuesday at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, to match the single-day record of Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day who initially set the mark on June 20, 1984.
The 25-year-old native of Senlis, France, jockey Julien Leparoux has won 3 riding titles at Churchill Downs and holds a commanding lead during the 26-day meet that concludes November 29.
Julien Leparoux’s winning mounts were Diva’s Gold ($6.40) in the first horse race, Yikes ($7.80) in the second, Troutdale ($8.40) in the third, Gerivello ($10.40) in the fourth, Variant ($11) in the fifth, Majestic Feline ($4.40) in the seventh and Runway West ($12) in the eighth.
“I got a little lucky picking up the one mount for Calvin (Borel),” said jockey Julien Leparoux, who took over for jockey Calvin Borel on Troutdale because Borel’s mother died Monday night and the rider took off his mounts. “I really wanted to win it for Calvin.”
Jockey Julien Leparoux, who now has 285 career victories at Churchill Downs where he first rode in the 2005 Fall Meet, finished eighth aboard Rocketinthegate, an 8-1 shot, in the ninth horse race and came home second aboard 3-1 second choice Sinister in the 10th.
At the conclusion of Churchill Downs’s Tuesday card, Leparoux had a 31-19 lead over jockey Robby Albarado in the jockey standings.
