Dutrow running one off 2 days rest

[TheSpyder]

I could not tell from the vidoe but was right in front of the race and was pulled up very fast and looked to be in trouble as it happened.

Anyway to find out for sure what happened?

Yes, I will find out. It may take a day or two but I will post it in this thread when I find out.

Broke a back leg.

Isn't Monmouth a layer of dirt over a slab of concrete?

Personally this bothers me a lot more than any of his other issues. If you run a horse back off of one days rest and it breaks down you should take 100% of the blame. Being reckless with the life of the horse is unforgivable. This is a disgrace.

Would seem the one thing you would most want to make sure doesn't happen. That's why I am surprised he ran back on a hard(fast) speed favoring surface like that.

The surface is immaterial. Surfaces take a whole lot more blame than they should because they cant argue back. 95% of breakdowns has nothing to do with surface.

Do you really think he cares? I personally think he knew that the horse had holes in him and tried to pass him on to someone else. No one bit and I am guessing the poor horse had to be put down. But I guess that there will be no mention of this between the Grade 1 and the posible pending suspention. But Contessa is the jerkoff. The whole thing just sucks.

WTF, when are these guys going to be held responsible? All they ever seem to get is a slap on the wrist.

Nothing will happen. Nothing happens because as the Bid says, Dutrow has the magic wand and the owners lust after that. The horses, fans, game, rules be damned. I usually try let people understand the other side of the coin, from a trainers point of view. A lot of times there is outrage over things that simply arent as big of a deal as they are made out to be. Sometimes things are misinterpreted. But this is wrong on so many levels. Letting horses run back on 1 days rest is a questionable practice by the tracks/stewards. But ultimately the trainer and owner is responsible for the horses well being. This situation is really hard to reason away. A guy hitting a horse in the face caused an unbelievably negative response. This is so much worse than that...

Chuck, Is there a rule that the track/stewards have that they could have enfored not letting him run the horse? Or because it is Dutrow and Monmouth wants him to have a stable there, they pretty much let him do what he wants?

If Jeremy Rose got 6 months for essentially "animal abuse," as the Delaware Park stewards called it, what was this? Of course, hard to do something when the State Vet presumably OK'd the horse to race.

Let's not forget that Dutrow is the same trainer who ran Golden Man in stakes on consecutive days at Monmouth and Delaware a few years ago. That horse was never the same afterwards.

Respectfully Golden Man is still a horse that runs often and is making people money.. He has run a lot more then horses who have been given 90 days to recover from minor injury's..I am not defending Dutrow but your example is actually a declaration of why not as suppose to why?

The state vets on most occasions are not very sharp. Not to mention the fact that a quick prerace look at a horse you have never seen before isnt going to show much unless the issue is obvious.

My point was that it would be hard to penalize a guy for running an unfit/unsound horse, because the association would have egg on its own face (cursory look by its vet was ineffectual). That's why we always hear that it's just "an unfortunate part of the game" when a breakdown occurs.

By the way, Dutrow and Asmussen are now tied for one positive and one breakdown in the past week alone.

good question. jeremy should have gotten his days, but trainers seem to always get off easy. a jock gets caught with a buzzer, gets five years. a trainer has overage after overage, and he gets to go to the hall of fame in a few years.
