Jockey Kent Desormeaux gets first victory since annoucing seeking help for alcohol abuse - New York Daily News
Jockey Kent Desormeaux recorded his first win since announcing on Thursday that he’s seeking treatment as an outpatient for alcohol abuse.
The 42-year-old Hall of Famer won the third race on Even Got Quiet ($26.80) in his lone mount on the card; it was his first win since taking the Blue Grass Stakes aboard Dullahan on April 14.
“It’s definitely a monkey off the back feeling,” Desormeaux said. “I'm thrilled. I’m happy and, hopefully, the opportunities will keep happening.”
Desormeaux failed a breathalyzer test on May 18, costing him his mount on <MC1>Tiger Walk<MC0> in the Preakness Stakes and Dullahan in the June 9 Belmont Stakes.
Dale Romans, who trains Dullahan, has said he will use Desormeaux again once the jockey completes his six-week program that begins Tuesday night.
“They better get what they can now, because he (Romans) said I’ll get everything when I get back and I’ll be back,” Desormeaux said.
It’s Tricky ($6.20) needed the length of the stretch to wear down pacesetter Cash for Clunkers to take the $400,000 Grade I Ogden Phipps Handicap by three-quarters of a length.
“We just did get there,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said. “From the three-sixteenths pole to the eighth pole, I was worried. She wasn’t there yet. She ran great. She’s a special filly.”
Chasing Cash for Clunkers from the start, It’s Tricky got up in the final strides to win for the eighth time in 12 starts.
Trainer Todd Pletcher blamed himself for the disappointing third-place finish by 3-4 favorite Awesome Maria, snapping a six-race win streak.
“I think I did a really poor job preparing her for this race,” Pletcher said. “We stayed in Florida too long, got rained on a lot, missed a couple of works down there. Then I tried to make up for it here and breezed her on a sloppy track. I really did a bad job preparing her for this race. It wasn’t her fault. I’ll take the blame for it.”
In other Memorial Day stakes action, Contested ($4.10) easily wired them to take the $300,000 Grade I Acorn by five lengths, winning her fourth in a row for trainer Bob Baffert.
Sent to the front by jockey Javier Castellano, Contested never had to look back, wiring them in 1:34.61 as the even-money favorite.
Better Lucky ($18.20) won a three-way photo over Regalo Mia and Zultanite to pull off an upset in the Grade II Sands Point by a nose. It was the first turf start of the 3-year-old filly’s career.
“The last jump was pretty tight, I said, ‘I”ll settle for a dead-heat here,’” trainer Tom Albertrani said.
