Sad…

Yes, it is very sad.

At his age if he hasn’t learned how to manage conflict without violence, there is not a chance that the rest of his life will go well.

Sad for a talented rider but he knows the rules…

So this is what happened https://www.drf.com/news/desormeaux-suspended-incident-included-racial-slur :eek:

Considering the relative severity of the penalties, it sounds as though the Del Mar stewards thought Guy Stuttley was justified in punching Kent in the face.

I got that impression as well.:yes:

I wonder if this will be it for him. He’s been forgiven so many times and has been given so many chances to prove his worth.

As the article implied, Stronach and others can ban him from their racecourses, they don’t need a suspension to keep him from riding.:no:

So far, only Del Mar appears to have told Desormeaux he is persona non grata. TSG hasn’t said anything yet (which would cover Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields). Los Al hasn’t said anything yet.

TSG, Los Al nothing yet that we know of.

Must be hard for Keith Desormeaux who is a decent trainer on the So Cal scene.

Trying for a comeback:

I wonder if they’ll give him another chance or decide that enough is enough? He’s been in trouble so many times…
