Keith Desormeaux Said
PROFILE EITH Desormeaux was raised right. There were bumps in the road, sure, but he absorbed each one, squirreling them away. He knew they would come in Khandy on a rainy day. Truth is, all six Desormeaux kids were well- reared. The fact that each has a first name that begins with “K” has nothing to do with karma, although it well could. Karma, as Webster defines it, has its origin in Hinduism and Buddhism and is “the sum and the consequences of a person’s actions during the successive phases of his existence, regarded as determining his destiny.” Other than that, there is no specific reason all the names begin with “K.” “My mother started with ‘K’ and just followed suit,” Keith Desormeaux said. “I guess she liked the idea of all the names beginning with ‘K.’” For Desormeaux, it was inevitable that he become a Thoroughbred trainer. But it was more than fate that he emerged as a rising star in one of the most competitive, time-consuming vocations on the face of the earth. Vacations, days off, a night at the movies, an afternoon at the mall are rarer than a triple dead heat. Desormeaux, who goes by J. Keith when listed as a trainer in racing publications and track programs, at 48 is the oldest of the six children. Then comes Kent, 45; Kristie, 43; Kelli, 38; Kalen, 36, and youngest brother Kip, 35. The “J” in Keith’s race track handle stands for John. Mom and dad Desormeaux, Brenda and Harris, in their early 70s, are “strong as ever” back in the town where their kids were born – Lafayette, Louisiana, a rural farming community.

Tdn Europe • Page 2 of 8 • Thetdn.Com Sunday • 14 March 2021
SUNDAY, 14 MARCH 2021 In fact, initial opposition to her working in the world in which BALLET DANCER TO she had been immersed since birth came from within her own family. NORTHERN DANCER: Her father, Colonel Adrian Scrope, the revered manager of Lord Derby's studs, regularly took on students keen to learn the SCROPE=S LIFE LESS business but was reluctant for his own daughter to follow this path. ORDINARY "There were no professional women on the studs when I started; my father wouldn't take me," says Scrope. "Even Elisabeth Couturie, although she ran her own stud, never considered it was a role for a girl." Scrope's own pedigree is as impressive as those of the horses she has devoted her life to studying and, as with Thoroughbreds, the dam line played a significant role. Her mother's family owned Sledmere Stud in Yorkshire, which at that time was the leading commercial stud in the country. The important position of the Sykes family's stud in the history of Thoroughbred breeding is guaranteed, Sledmere being the birthplace of the incredibly influential foundation mare Mumtaz Mahal, and of 1873 Derby winner Doncaster, whose male line extends through Phalaris. In 1927, at the age of 21, Scrope's father was appointed manager at Sledmere and a year later married Lady Sykes's daughter, Everilda, having set his heart on his future bride when first glimpsing her at his job interview.
