As things go, race three on the card--a $16,000 claimer--is a far less exulted companion to its starrier cousins. But the race contains its own prodigal return...that of Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux after a hiatus from the saddle. Still, it's just the sort of low-key call to arms the jockey is looking for. "It's not something you get control of and go tell the world about your accomplishment," said Desormeaux, of his newly established sobriety after a tumultuous six-month period culminating from decades of struggle. "I can honestly say it's been 25 years since I've been clean this long," he said. It was back in July that Del Mar management barred Desormeaux from the grounds following an off-site incident in which the jockey was accused of using a racial epithet in a fight. The following September, the Del Mar stewards suspended the jockey for 15 days for "disorderly conduct--racial slurs, aggressive behavior."

Desormeaux explained that he subsequently enrolled in a three-month rehabilitation program at a local facility. It's not the first time the jockey has sought professional help for his substance abuse issues--another stint was as recent as 2016. But this has been the most concerted effort yet, he said, to wrestle the demons under control. "This one was not a resort. It was not a vacation. It was not intended to buy some time," he said. "I learned a lot about myself and came back to reality. There's a lot of people who certainly care about me, love me and they were deeply concerned." One of those family members who has proven resiliently loyal is his brother, trainer Keith Desormeaux, for whom the jockey has two mounts at Santa Anita Saturday and Sunday "He has always had my best interest at hand," said Desormeaux. "He has long told me that what I've just gone through was needed for quite some time. He's not sticking by me just this weekend. He's stuck by me through thick and thin before." Desormeaux explained that, as a condition of his license, he is required to undergo routine testing. "I have a very restricted license," he said. "I get tested often, and there's not enough lapse of time for me to use ever. I can't use at all. Not weekends. Not days off. At all." The plan moving forward is very simple, Desormeaux said. ASticking to the program," he said, in reference to both alcohol and narcotics anonymous meetings. "You know how they say, 'you live to learn and learn to live?' I've learned how to live, and now I can move on and live to learn."

    GRADE II LOUISIANA DERBY JUMPS TO $750,000 AND WILL BE RUN AT 1 1/8 MILES ON MARCH 27 BIG EVENT SCHEDULE CHANGES & TWO NEW RACES FOR FILLIES & MARES HIGHLIGHT FAIR GROUNDS’ RECORD $7.24 MILLION, 66-RACE STAKES MENU NEW ORLEANS, LA (Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009) – Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots has raised the purse of the Grade II Louisiana Derby to $750,000, increased the distance to 1 1/8 miles and moved the 3-year-old fixture to Saturday, March 27 – five weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby. The significant changes to its signature race and accompanying races, as well as the addition of two new dirt races for fillies and mares, highlight a record $7.24 million, 66-race stakes schedule for the 2009-2010 Fair Grounds meet. The 85-day Fair Grounds meet will have its earliest start date ever when the historic New Orleans racetrack opens on Friday, Nov. 6, a week earlier than last year and well ahead of the old Thanksgiving Day opener of years past. Closing day for the action-packed 21-week season will be Sunday, March 28. In recent years, the Louisiana Derby, which produced Kentucky Derby winners Black Gold (1924) and Grindstone (1996), had been a $600,000 race over 1 1/16 miles and was carded seven weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands. The momentous switch of the 97th Louisiana Derby to closing weekend, along with moving the Grade II, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks to headline a stakes quartet for fillies and mares on Friday, March 26, has altered both series of races.
