Keith Desormeaux is the oldest of six siblings from Maurice. His younger brother Kent is a little more widely known. This Saturday, they team up to hopefully win their first Run for the Roses together.
This is video of a horse named "Downtown Hottie" finishing in first place, despite not having a rider throughout the entire sixth race, on Wednesday at Belmont Park.
Downtown Hottie stumbled at the start, and dumped her rider, Luis Saez, but still finished ahead of the field at the finish...
Shackleford held on to win the Preakness Saturday, beating favorite Animal Kingdom by a half-length at Pimlico. Animal Kingdom, the Kentucky Derby winner, made a late charge, but fell just short. Shackleford's win assures there will be no Triple Crown winner this year.
