Default For Desormeaux, conflicting views on his struggles

DRF|For Desormeaux, conflicting views on his struggles

A really good read. I remember the "drunk interview" when it happened as being funny and didn't think it was such a big deal as he was on vacation. Didn't realize there were larger problems there.

I hope Kent can get it together

Feel sorry for s.b. and k.d. didn't think it was a big deal, just a guy that was on vacation.

very. i remember years ago, when a brash young kid was setting the maryland racing scene on fire. he's grown up, but i don't know that he's matured.
seems the conflict is between him and his denial, and his family who can do nothing but hope that kent decides to get his act together.
see this all too often, people in acting or sports, or music, who just lose themselves. all that talent, and they blow it.

Interesting to see he is heading to Arlington. Since Douglas got hurt, that meet has been begging for a name rider. We'll see if he can return to his form from his glory days.

trust and a good reputation are far easier to lose than to regain. he needs to work his ass off and keep out of trouble.
if he wants to go home after work and have a drink, he has that right. but he better limit himself to one, and i'm not talking about a big gulp size.
