However, that does not mean that top trainers weren't using him because of his attitude. It doesn't say that anywhere in the article. I think the reason they weren't using him was because they didn't think he was riding well.
In addition, the article didn't say anything to confirm your contention that Desormeaux was lazy about coming out in the morning. It actually said the opposite. It said he was coming out more than anyone in the morning. By the way, that article was from around 10 years ago. Twice the Vice was running back in 1995.
