GOD BLESS THIS HORSE

I'm thinking we might need to make a thread about the jockey.

I'd love a huge gambling story out of all of this. If theres nothing wrong with the horse, the jockey might be accused of a payoff to ease him or something.

Jockey Kent Desormeaux still alive.



NEW YORK (AP) - Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. still blames Kent Desormeaux for Big Brown's stunning last-place finish in the Belmont Stakes, but he wouldn't object to the jockey riding the horse in his next race.

The decision of whether to change jockeys is up to co-owner Michael Iavarone, Dutrow said.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, especially Kent," Dutrow told The Associated Press on Tuesday morning in his barn at Aqueduct. "But I still don't understand what happened. I don't see the horse with a problem, so I have to direct my attention toward the ride. That's all I can come up with."
