Horse Course

blmtA horse jockey is a horse jockey...of course, of course.

Summer Bird, sent off at 11-1 odds, gave jockey Kent Desormeaux a Belmont victory he desperately wanted. The winning time for the 1.5 miles was 2:27.54. Last year, he won the Derby & Preakness aboard Big Brown, only to have to pull up the colt in the 2008 Belmont.
