Julien Leparoux is on a winning streak, on and off the racetrack.

Over the past 10 days, the French jockey landed the ride aboard early Kentucky Derby favorite Union Rags, revealed he'll be racing in New York shortly and flew cross-country to win the El Camino Real Derby in California aboard Daddy Nose Best.

And by the way, he also announced his engagement just before Valentine's Day to Shea Mitchell, the daughter of California-based trainer Mike Mitchell. The wedding is set for December.

Union Rags remains No. 1 in the AP's latest Run to the Roses Top 10 of Derby contenders, with Algorithms second. Both colts are expected to be in the field for Sunday's Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
