Desormeaux brothers have two in the Front Runner. Straight Fire and Vibe. The former was one of the most impressive 2yo maiden winners thusfar this year, finished second in a grade one and was a 250k yearling purchase. The latter is still a maiden and has a third through a pair of starts and was a 35k yearling purchase. Kent has ridden both but ends up on the maiden. What do you make of this?

Big Chief Racing is probably K. Desormeaux biggest client so why not keep them happy since no other decent jockey was willing to ride VIBE in a stake race.

No one is going to beat KLMIT so there is no need for Kent to be too unhappy?
