I don't see what was so bad about the interview. He made some good points in there.

Oh, he made some points alright...but they weren't in the interview...they were on the breath-o-liezer

They should put ol Kent up on IHA...he'd show 'em ( and his dancecard is open too)

"How bout this little "blurb" in the article..."but as a jockey when I ride a horse that’s running off, the only reason I keep a hold of him is public appearance.."

How can a Hall of Famer even SAY that, even if he really thinks it's how it's done....

That's what the sport needs..."appearances"

That was some public appearance in Big Brown's Belmont.

Kent D should be given an award for his ride in Big Brown's Belmont. The horse should have never been entered in that race.

Now everything he has done in the past week or two.. yeah he's just proving how much of a pinhead he is.

Are you familiar with why he didn't ride in the Preakness?

It would have been easier for him to say, "Mario better be careful not to f.uck it up in the Belmont, I know I did."

Yes. Despite that, all I see in the article is stuff about Belmont riding tactics and being concerned a first timer like Mario will mess up. Sounds understandable.

The part about only holding a runoff horse for appearance is a little strange. But his advice towards Mario does not relate to his own problems.

I guess the idea is that since you couldn't ride a race 3 days ago because you were an idiot....just keep your mouth shut now.

There are only so many people who fit the job description of being less than 5'5" and under 115lbs... being able to think is secondary.

Apparently he had a little more wine with dinner before he did this interview. One more reason why I hope I'll have Another wins the Belmont.

Honestly, at this point does anyone care what Kent has to say? It's a shame, but he's become irrelevant and he has no one to blame but himself.

Kent Desormeaux's alcohol problems makes you want I'll Have Another to win the Belmont? Or did you miss a sentence between the one ending with "interview" and the one beginning with "one?"

That's what i was thinking as i read it.
He's drunk (again).
The interview he had on Steve's show a few years ago was embarrassing; he called Rachel a bitch several times. Totally wasted.

I see the point he is trying to make about the whirlwind tour Gutierrez will go on the next 3wks, and how he & IHA can get lost on the far turn at Bel, but as usual he makes his point with a helping of assholatry to go along with it.

I'm afraid his credibility is a little susupect after his latest escapades. He also didn't make any points that haven't been made before. We all get that the track is different from the typical US track. It's brought up every year at this time.

Never liked Kent, and the more he talks, the more my opinion of him is cemented.

Whether you like him or not, his talent for riding must be respected.
