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.

I feel bad for Kent. He looks like a regular person and with that comes ego. He's like the Brad Pitt of jockeys. All of the hangers on and temptation plus the ego and zero self awareness.

Cut him some slack. Remember he is a jockey.

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?"

Maybe its Desormeaux's stupidity and his assshole remarks that make him want I'll Have Another to win the Belmont even more?

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.

Apparently what I am hearing is that all the horses Kent rides will have to be equipped with an alcohol ignition interlock device.
