If the bettor was truly important they would be protected more in situations like this as CJ pointed out. This is only example 10,000 were that is not the case.

I know it. Its ridiculous. But, i guess bettors should at least find some comfort in knowing it was a hall of fame jockey that cost them.

Johnny D's comments were very good today.

Kent typically classy and remorseful:

Kent DesOrmeaux @DesormeauxKent
I'm sorry for being expected to be perfect. Sometimes i zig not zag. Know I was all out. Trying to convince another try from mt

Later in the day according to the San Diego Tribune Desormeaux noted about his ride, “I’ve got nothing to say . . . Wait, hey I rode for my life. That’s all I’ve got to say about it.”

Wonder where he got his sense of entitlement. I'm guessing it's from decades of enabling by tracks, stewards, owners, trainers and bettors who will seemingly tolerate his garbage for eternity as long as he throws a good ride in every once in a while.

I had a very long discussion with Kent about this very topic one night, and believe me, I don't have a problem being direct. Kent is one of the all-time most talented riders who has, unfortunately, spent way too much time trying to prove the opposite. Instead of being remembered as one of the best ever, he will be remembered by most as the guy who stood up too often. Fair or unfair, he has nobody but himself to blame....and sending out Tweets like that is just another example of his disregard for the people that support this game.

Anyone catch the tweet from Mister Brightside's trainer Jeremy Noseda regarding the ride that Desormeaux gave in the Hollywood Derby this past weekend?
