Desormeaux needs to be gone

[ateamstupid]

Kent typically classy and remorseful:

Kent DesOrmeaux @DesormeauxKent
I'm sorry for being expected to be perfect. Sometimes i zig not zag. Know I was all out. Trying to convince another try from mt

Later in the day according to the San Diego Tribune Desormeaux noted about his ride, “I’ve got nothing to say . . . Wait, hey I rode for my life. That’s all I’ve got to say about it.”

Wonder where he got his sense of entitlement. I'm guessing it's from decades of enabling by tracks, stewards, owners, trainers and bettors who will seemingly tolerate his garbage for eternity as long as he throws a good ride in every once in a while.

yeah, nobody expects perfect.
but not standing up in the saddle til after the finish would be nice. ride thru the wire, kent...that's all

I had a very long discussion with Kent about this very topic one night, and believe me, I don't have a problem being direct. Kent is one of the all-time most talented riders who has, unfortunately, spent way too much time trying to prove the opposite. Instead of being remembered as one of the best ever, he will be remembered by most as the guy who stood up too often. Fair or unfair, he has nobody but himself to blame....and sending out Tweets like that is just another example of his disregard for the people that support this game.

Anyone catch the tweet from Mister Brightside's trainer Jeremy Noseda regarding the ride that Desormeaux gave in the Hollywood Derby this past weekend?

He sure blew up the pick 4 at Delmar yesterday with that win on Stormy Lucy at 65-1

Looked like he was just standing up to have a look around about the 3/16 pole or maybe breezing the horse. Who the hell knows.

And then there was Ed Moger on ATR with me today, grateful that Desormeaux gave Stormy Lucy as perfect a ride as he'd ever seen, providing him his first G1 win in his 40 years of training.

Exactly. It's a conundrum. Will Kent come on ATR again? I love when you talk to the jocks and get their perspectives.

Recepta should have won that race.

I didn't even notice the ride until I stumbled upon the trainer's tweet. Watched the replay again and after the race said to myself, "hmmmm".

Certainly isn't going to make his highlight reel.

I thought KD's tweets in response were pretty humorous/courageous.
