Nice post JDank.

I don't think it's been discussed yet but I believe Kent's drinking problem has been magnified the past few years due to injuries and bad pain management. Kent has some tough decisions ahead of him. He needs to rehab mentally and physically. Then he'll need to decide if he can manage the pain properly while sober and continue to ride at a high level.

We all grow old.

He just cut and pasted a post from John Titor and added a few modifications.

A friend of mine just brought this to my attention, Kent's 1/43 so far this year.

Anyone have thoughts as to what's happened? Or is the guy just in a horrible slump?

He hasn't been getting many good mounts at Gulfstream and Kent has never been one to try harder than he has to on longshots.

Thanks Joey, I really haven't paid attention.
But, regardless of what he's riding, it's still an ugly number for a jockey with his ability.
