Congratulations to Mr Dutrow on an outstanding job and congratulations to my favorite Irad who is the best rider!!!!

That may be true but he did it easy and it’s not like he had to exert himself any more than that to get the win and secure it quite convincingly. So yea that may be a slow fraction, but just like fast fractions, the time is not everything but how you ran it. So let’s not get carried away, that last fraction wasn’t indicative of how truly talented this horse is. It was a great race and great win by all those involved in White Abarrio’s success.

Why is known horse doper Rick Dutrow even allowed to race horses? Just another black eye for horse racing in a year of punches to the face.

Because the "recreation" does not really care about the cheating in it. Why are Baffert, O'Neil, Pletcher or Asmussen still permitted to train anything? All of them have multiple serious doping infractions and all got slaps on the wrist every time. Drugtow should have been suspended for life, but the recreation known as horse racing is not to be taken seriously at this point. 🙂

[@silvereyedstacker1842]

⁠@@rcg9573Dutrow shouldn’t have been suspended for life. Even a NY steward suspected the needles were planted. If you apologize and suck up, you can do no wrong in horse racing. If you fight and argue, they’ll do a lot to get rid of you. Such as CD arbitrarily extending the ban on Baffert in KY. Several out there doing worse than Dutrow or Baffert that haven’t been suspended. A lot spoke up for Dutrow. His horses don’t break down and have never broken down, which tells the story.

Isn’t doping. If he’s doping, let the drug tests speak. Rick Dutrow served his time, and I don’t think he will have another positive drug test again. It’s because the horse has bad feet and Rick Dutrow is a real horseman. The horse always had a lot of talent, but wasn’t quite 100%. You should look up how many of Rick Dutrow’s horses have fatally broke down back in the 2000s compared to the others. He’s definitely a cut above the large majority in the business as far as being a horseman goes. He runs circles around someone like Pletcher.

⁠@@rugger104Yeah they’re the type of miserable people I avoid like the plague in real life. Don’t need to be around that. Look, I think Dutrow deserved some time due to all the violations (13 were overages for legal drugs and the rest were non-medication related violations) but they did him very dirty. He originally had a 90 day ban and they moved it to a 10 year ban only because he appealed and ran his mouth. Then, an NY steward came out as a whistleblower in 2019 and stated that the State Wagering Authority planted the drugs in Dutrow’s barn. It went to the district attorney’s office and they swept it under the rug, so it appears that some funny things were going on concerning his case up in NY. I think he’s only had like 4 horses die in his care over his career. One was a breakdown during a race, one a heart attack, one a post op complication, and one a breakdown during a workout. If he was doping that badly, you would have thought he would of had a lot more breakdowns like some of these other trainers. So yeah, my money is that all of his horses are running clean now. White Abarrio has also blossomed. He has gained weight and just looks so much better than he did in his previous trainer’s care. He runs like he looks.
