SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux has begun counseling sessions to address issues involving his alcohol use.

On July 1, Desormeaux failed a breathalyzer test at Woodbine, necessitating that he be taken off Hold Me Back, who won that day's $200,000 Dominion Day Handicap under jockey Tyler Pizarro. In May, Desormeaux was noticeably drunk during a radio interview a few days after the Kentucky Derby, in which he received some criticism for his ride on Paddy O'Prado, who was beaten a neck for second by Ice Box.

Has nothing to do with his rides on Big Brown.
