Desormeaux visually seemed hell bent on looking around for an eased up Discreet Cat, with about 10 under-the-shoulder glances to the inside at the top of the lane. Never mind that Invasor was ranging up to his horse's neck on the outside. Even after he got headed, Desormeaux didn't really get after Premium Tap (who seemed to get back on the bit late) until deep stretch.

Of course, all of this fantasia is moot if Desormeaux retains the mount for this year's running.

How does Premium Tap's form now compares to his form from 2007? I don't think he's the same horse. And you don't have to worry about Desormeaux, he's staying home to ride Big Brown.
