If you were disappointed by the outcome of the Belmont, blame a bad ride by Kent Desormeaux.

We just don’t think there was another horse in the race who could take him if he ran his own exuberant style. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://frommyviewpoint.com/?p=1"><P>What he really couldn’t handle was being reined in hard for that first quarter mile as if he had been a naughty schoolboy.
