A very wise man once told me that Kent rode that race like he just wanted to get it over with. Of course, it took one of the all time great rides by Gary Stevens to beat him.

I may be mis-remembering, but didn't desormeax make quite early moves with Real Quiet in both the KY Derby and Preakness and get away with it?? I'm almost certain at least the Derby was a very early move. Wasn't he just repeating what worked in the first two legs?
