Kent Desormeaux

Anyone notice Kent has 2 wins, 2 seconds in 5 Arlington mounts in his first 2 days there? He\'s on a slew of live ones today and I\'m predicting he is a run away winner of the jocks title at this meet.

One of the all time greats IMHO with a recent history we know all to well.

Reminiscent of Jorge Velasquez in 89 & 90 when he couldn\'t get a ride in NY any longer going to Chicago and riding circles around a lesser bunch.

The talent is still there; I\'ve said it here many times in the past couple of years, he is as good as he wants to be whenever he wants to be. Let\'s hope he stays out of my old watering holes on Rush & Division streets!!!!

Good luck Kent,

1. That he\'ll run away with the title there is little doubt.

2. That he will offer any value...even less doubt

When not even Bob Hess would ride him regularly, you knew there was HUGE trouble.

I\'m a huge fan of the talent, and have been, for a long, long time.  He was clearly pressing in Florida, and probably lost a couple of races he should have won.

On his best behavior in Chi, in against a leaving-much-to-be-desired colony, he lays all over those guys.   He\'s hip to the poly, and would expect him to tear it up.

. . . and what happens after that will be REALLY interesting.  Wish him the best.

Noticed that too Frank.

I\'ve met him on occasion on our trips to SA, and he was always kind and very personable. Can\'t say that for everybody. I\'m certainly rooting for him on and off the track.

Sun Race 7 ....5/1 at the off, 7/2 after the start. If you get a chance have a look at the ride. As good as he wants to be is absolutely correct
