Good horse, bad horse -- no offense, but not really the issue. Dutrow does tend to run horses back quick. A lot? Some? Often? All relative terms. He does it more often than most other trainers. I hear some trainers give him credit for trying and note that after he wheels him back he gives them a more normal time off routine.
I've others say this is horrible and comments as foolish as "need the money" or something along those lines. Doesn't matter!
This one did not go well. If every other one had, this one was one too many. I think the immediate reaction in the hysterical world we see today is going to be for various people to back peddle and cover their butts.
