while i continue to root for and give the benefit of the doubt, I also can't make a strong argument against your take Castaway. Have to value safety of these horses and riders.


I laughed once today.

Was begrudgingly reading this take on Twitter until I realized that it wasn't even about Kent, it was an exaggerated take on a current leading rider:

Desormeaux is an alcoholic abusive jackass and no one condones what he did, but statistically, he's safer on a horse than Irad Ortiz and Paco Lopez.
