Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux was released from the St. Martin’s Parish correctional facility in Louisiana on a $25,000 bond on Friday after being arrested earlier that day for domestic abuse and battery, according to a spokesman from the St. Martin’s Parish Sheriff’s Dept.
On Saturday, officials with The Stronach Group, which operates Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream Park, Laurel, Pimlico, and Santa Anita, said in a memo that Desormeaux was “not welcome” to ride at company-owned tracks.
In a situation unrelated to the legal issues in Louisiana, Desormeaux is scheduled to appear at a hearing before Santa Anita stewards Luis Jauregui, Will Meyers and Kim Sawyer on Thursday regarding a complaint issued by California Horse Racing Board investigators on Jan. 20 for an incident at an RV park on Del Mar property on Nov. 23, 2021, in which Desormeaux got into an argument with a girlfriend. The incident led to a response from security officials.
