Maybe they think lightning can't strike twice.

You don't think KD is a better rider today. He may win the most improved cat.

Desormeaux rode for a period of time in Japan. Maybe the trainer from there has used him before and values his opinion?

I understand KD taking the mount of Casino Drive. He's a nice horse in a G2 $200k race. My question is why the connections didn't reach out to someone who would retain the mount for the race that is the ultimate goal.
