Scav what the hell are you even talking about here? Are you implying that Rick Dutrow has come up with some new superdrugs and is having Rudy test them? For a second I thought that Rockhardten dope posted this.
While he is winning at a sick rate, the horses aren't exactly improving insanely a la Marty Wolfson. He is claiming horses/getting horses from The Dutrows and placing them in the right spots(something not all trainers have a clue about). If you look at the owners that are using Rudy you will see they are all pretty much have been Dutrow clients for years. They know Rudy and know how hard the guy has worked over the years. Rick Dutrow is really not training cheap claimers anymore so any leftover claimers are being given to him. Any of his owners who want to continue in the claimers game will probably use Rudy.
Rudy has been working for one of the top outfits for a long time so it's pretty safe to say that they guy knows his stuff.
As far as Rick Dutrow.......I am no fan of his at all and think he is a loudmouth pr#ck. And yes he has cheated like the rest of them and been caught. But anyone who works for him knows he runs a top notch stable and is a very talented horseman. So a guy who worked under him for yrs is bound to have success.
