Kd will continue with this issue til he realizes he is an alcoholic, and the only way to deal with it is never, ever drink again.

"DMR: Stewards vote 2-1 for no fine or suspension for Desormeaux
Jockey Kent Desormeaux will not be fined nor suspended for his ride aboard in Saturday's fourth race"....

Welp, that's it for me betting Del Mar. Good riddance. They show that kind of flagrant disregard for their players by siding with that disgusting criminal, they don't deserve my money. Status quo for this ridiculous sport.

Nice of our resident troll to check in defending the indefensible. Glad you enjoy betting on riders who may or may not be drunk and may or not be trying. Bet you love Comcast's customer service too.

You forget he is a HOF with multiple Ky Derby and BC wins. You bet on an 8 to 5 shot and he loses then say he must retire. Did you see his masterful ride in the second race? I bet you didnt. You see what you want to see. Carry on...

The two are not mutually inclusive. In this instance, he completely quit on a favorite and got beat because of it. I don't know if it had anything to do with whether he was drunk or not, but regardless, he should have gotten days and / or been fined for the ride.

If he had pulled that sh1t in Europe he'd have been out of work for 6 months.

I didn't have a dime on the race but we all know It's difficult enough to be successful as a bettor when they follow the rules.... to watch a multirace ticket get blown up by a 86.00 horse that should not have been within 3 lengths of him because of the jockey....I get exactly where Joey's coming from - I would not bet a cent there either.

Again, the argument is because he has talent we're supposed to just condone all of his embarrassing antics. What does his ride on the horse in the 2nd (who, by the way, Kent moved early on and got away with it because the horse was an hour the best) have to do with him losing a race because he decided to style the last 1/16th instead of riding his horse out like is his job?

If this were literally any other jockey, I'd most likely be OK with just a warning. But the pattern of irresponsible behavior in his career putting other people in danger and stealing money by not trying is a disgrace to this game. Yet he's allowed to just keep on being who he is because sycophants like you think as long as someone has big wins on their resume they should be able to act however the hell they please with no repercussions.

How's that Greg Hardy jersey fitting?
