Kent J. Desormeaux

What's going on with his this meet at Gulfstream? A lot of shorter prices are falling.... perhaps he's just on some cold horses.

Be forwarned.... Sette E Mezzo is an improving horse that is somewhat unproven on dirt. He should appreciate the distance and a decent post for a change. He comes in off a 99 Beyer on the grass over a wide trip. He could pick up some pieces on Saturday... and who knows where he shows up next. Also get the benefit of Desormeaux - off.

Gozzip Girl has a ton of trouble and Kent nearly falls off on the first turn... "Oh, no, She almost went down!" said Durkin. No wonder she can only manage fourth over the soft turf. A nice race by Miss World, but definitely helped by the favorite's issues...

How many times do we have to go thru this... Borel should have learned from other jocks that suffered from not having Belmont experience. Remember Stewart Elliott's first ride in the Belmont... on Smarty Jones... that didn't go so well did it? But he too was a veteran jockey with 1,000's of wins that had ridden a terrific Derby and Preakness. Same with Desormeaux on Real Quiet.

Borel moved too soon and went too wide on Mine That Bird. Calvin Boo-rail... couldn't find the rail.

It was ironic that Desormeaux, who learned his lesson moving too soon on Real Quiet and got beat by Victory Gallop by a nose 11 years ago... showed the patience to get the win on Summer Bird, while Borel learned that same lesson of moving too soon today.
