Desormeaux Failed Breath Test at Woodbine

anyone have a translation?

Did he fly in from Bermuda?

They make Jocks take breathalizer tests? Based on suspicion or a standard practice? Was he charged with R-W-I?

Next stop Dr. Drew

I can't believe he ever passed one.

According to the DRF article:

For purposes of comparison, motor vehicle operators in Ontario face a charge of impaired driving if they blow over .08 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. A reading between .05 and .08 results in a roadside license suspension of three to seven days.

Hopefully he recognizes it for what it really is. He needs to face his problem again and get back on track. For purposes of the game you just don't know what his impairments are on any given day for handicapping.

Hopefully he gets some help before he has a catastrophe on the track for him and/or anyone in a race with him, let alone a car with his kids in it.

every track does breathalizers either daily or on random checks. I remember hanging out in the river downs jock room before the races, and they have an outside agent who administers the test to ever jock who enters the room, every day, right when they walk in.

it's a standard practice

Us Irish guys baseline is higher then that.

We all laughed about his appearance on ATR a few months ago, but maybe it wasn't so funny in retrospect.

hell, if he was a pilot they'd have let him fly.

what are you talking about?.....he was drinking with the pilot in first class.

lol
there ya go then!

but i was talking about him blowing an .02.

Who would have guessed? :rolleyes:

Kent D. shows up @ Woodbine from another vacation?
 

Seems Mr. Desormeaux may have a problem......

I hope he posts about it in the "sorry" thread in Guessoteric.

Must have been one hell of a drink!

I heard he was drinking Miller High Life.

No doubt! :D

Maybe he thinks beer doesn't count as a drink.

They should have pissed tested him after he put Mushka into retirement.

Desormeaux seeks counseling for alcohol

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux has begun counseling sessions to address issues involving his alcohol use.

On July 1, Desormeaux failed a breathalyzer test at Woodbine, necessitating that he be taken off Hold Me Back, who won that day's $200,000 Dominion Day Handicap under jockey Tyler Pizarro. In May, Desormeaux was noticeably drunk during a radio interview a few days after the Kentucky Derby, in which he received some criticism for his ride on Paddy O'Prado, who was beaten a neck for second by Ice Box.

good for him to admit he does have a problem and getting help.
