After Recent Personal Challenges, Desormeaux Resurgent At 51 Sponsored by: Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux Kahuna Magic appeared to be running for second in last Sunday's second race, a maiden allowance event for three-year-olds and up at six furlongs on the main track. Brutto, the 1-2 favorite, had a clear lead passing the eighth pole and seemed on his way to victory. But here came Kahuna Magic, fourth entering the stretch, with Kent Desormeaux riding like he was pursuing his fourth Kentucky Derby triumph, even though he was next to last in a field of five at the half-mile marker, and, at 13-1, aboard the second-longest shot in the race.
