Kent D. in Belmont

He very likely wasn't going to win but Desormeaux's ride on Keen Ice was one for the ages and should be the final bullet in this a-hole's "I'm rich now so who gives a shit" career.
Wide as hell for the entire first 3/4s, he puts the horse into a drive less than half way into the far turn and then, just as suddenly, stands in the stirrups and right reins him out into the 8 path and simply stops, I mean just STOPS riding at the head of the stretch. And of course the horse basically stops too. Wtf, it's not like it's, oh a TRIPLE CROWN race or something.
Then the little shit decides he wants to start riding again so he hits the horse a couple of times but TURNS HIM SIDEWAYS (either because he wasn't in rhythm or because he was drunk or because he doesn't care and is perfectly content to lose...or all three) and the horse takes off and makes a determined run to get third while clearly closing on both the leaders. I was flabbergasted. Why anyone would let this idiot within 30 feet of a racehorse is beyond me. I'd rather have had ShyAnn Garcia on Keen Ice than this prick giving his best imitation of how he would ride a nickle claimer at Jefferson Downs if he were 74 years old and blind.

And a shyann Garcia reference... Good stuff.
Agreed!!!
I'm looking forward to more insight from "The New Guy" Owlet
Been too long since we had someone jump the jock. I'll go one even better---Mike Smith gave Promise Me Silver a ride that was one for the ages. Retired female jock Jackie Dalton was watching the race in our box and even she made a comment about "What the hell was Smith thinking"
I'm thinking Cage Match between Kent D and Mikey and loser retires!
Funny how neither Ortiz nor Rosario felt the same way and rode like they were actually trying to win the race.
love this part..instant classic and well said...also agree with your point on rosario cause he rode his balls off in the belmont..just a better horse..welcome to HRT..
Welcome to the forum. You are going to fit in well here.
You don't say. Migraines? Is that what they call it now?
Imagine if this guy was a surgeon, or a bus driver. They'd be turning a volkswagen around in his ass at Pelican Bay. But not at ol' Del Mar. Just a brief respite.
I may even be playing Del Mar as much as Spa right now. I would have never thought that possible!
Dale Romans, who trains Keen Ice, said he'll keep the jockey aboard for the Haskell. "We entered and we named himwe're good to go,"
Romans said. "I hope it was the carbonated water."
Keen Ice has Princequillo in his blood, one of my favorite sires and a Last of the Mohicans example of stamina and class, European old school style when horse racing actually meant something. Decades of hard work, as well a lot of money and thought, went into the breeding and training this horse--all so this fucking rodent can climb on board, do his Mr. Magoo on the once around and then give an interview that sounds like a Special Olympian on Xanax.
Maybe he won't be able to find the airport.
Tell us how you really FEEL!! LOL!
For the owlmeister:
CHRB clarifications: Jockey Kent Desormeaux demonstration in a meeting Thursday with stewards in which he showed that a carbonated drink he drank Wednesday caused him to fail a Breathalyzer test had no bearing on the stewards permitting him to ride. He would have been able to ride so long as he agreed to a Breathalyzer each day until the CHRB concludes its investigation. Carbonation will not register as alcohol in a breathalyzer test administered by law enforcement, said Bill Westermann, Chief of Law Enforcement for the CHRB. The equipment we use is calibrated by the California Highway Patrol and current in its certifications. The breathalyzer measures the level of alcohol in the bloodstream. Del Mars board of stewards will hear Desormeaux case on Aug. 15.
He likes a cold one... I kinda do too.
I was waiting for this...
And have we heard enough now about American Egyptian criminal and his formaldehyde trainer? I hope so.

You mean it wasn't the carbonated water? Shiiiiiitttttt.
@DesormeauxKent im a huge fan...hate to see haters. is it true about the carbonated water? do you need a lawyer? #FreeKentD
Stewards already called him in. I imagine with several turf writers blowing this up on twitter that he'll get days and a fine...
