there's no love lost between those two - Dutrow called him a clown in the NY Post a few years back - I guess he's turning up the heat

Dutrow and IEAH are a perfect match. Why would Iavarone be upset that on the heels of saying all IEAH stock would run off medication Dutrow gets popped with a positive. Lets just hope when the medication rules are put into place they test for whatever is at the tip of Mr Dutrow's magic wand. Even better Iavarone should remove the horses, then everyone would see how important Dutrow is to that outfit. If I were IEAH I would drive Rick Dutrow around in a bulletproof Mercedes like the Pope, and hire around the clock security.

At the end of the day, Dutrow's recent appeal of the KY positive says more about him than anything else. He says, "I take responsibility" and yet appeals because he can, because he "has horses to take care of." An honorable man (I recall Pat Day doing this when he was suspended in KY a few years back) accepting responsibility would take his days and be thankful that he didn't receive more. Apparently, Dutrow does not fall into this category.

No.. I wasn't kidding...

It was from the accounts I received, a vintage Dutrow performance...

Can we assume that he's no longer got the PR guy?

Should I assume from this thread that it's now a board policy that we can post any rumors we wish as long as at some point down the road we mention that it's false?

didnt one of them call the other a clown on your show? I loved that show!

as long as its complete crap

Gotta give it to Dutrow...very quotable and never boring.

I heard a rumor that Big Brown is going to run at some race in New Joisey.

I heard a rumor that Drugs never wears socks....

yet another lateral move?

at least, not on his feet...

I didn't believe Dutrow actually called Contessa a J.O. until is read it in the DRF. Sounds like these boys don't like each other. ::eek:

12 inches isn't a foot?

He apparently forgets about Suave Queen. Off two years, she drops from $65,000 (in 2006 debut at Belmont) to $20,000 at Saratoga; wins by 5 lengths and then is vanned off.

Did they have to put that horse down? I believe Dutrow was talking about catastrophic injuries where the horse has to be euthanized.

With as many horses as he has, if it is true that he has only had one horse break down in the afternoon in the last 7 years, that is an excellent record. He's probably run a few thousand horses in the last 7 years.

Not sure if Suave Queen was put down, but I was the track that day, and it did not look good when she was pulled up on the clubhouse turn. According to her PPs, she has never raced again.

More: thankfully, she was not put down. According to Breeders' Cup site, she produced a foal this spring by Flower Alley.
