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. Watch replays of the early part of the race and you will witness a wrestling match between horse and rider. We don’t think Big Brown could fathom why he was being treated that way, and in the end, it cost him the race.</p> <P>We think Dutrow’s silence is contained rage at Desormeaux.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/177C06D4-CC15-4AF4-BE61-883403E81668/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
