I ran a horse about two years ago. He was coming back from 32 days off between races.

Prior to the race, as the day's scratches were being announced, I heard the announcer say my horse had worked a few days before in 37.4.

I looked at my trainer and asked how he went. The response was "I don't know - I didn't work him".

This is why this show is the best horse racing show on the radio and worth spending a few dollars a month for. Although it still is not Noble's saturday morning show. LOL

The reason why everyone knows Dutrow is a cheater is because what happens when he claims horses or takes them from other trainers. A good trainer can move a horse up a little, but he certainly can't move him up 15-20 beyer numbers.

The fact is a good trainer can make a horse a little better, and a bad trainer can make a horse much worse, but there is nothing that Dutrow can legally do to move a horse up the way he moves a horse up.

One horse convinced me he was a 100% absolute cheater and that was Kip Deville. That horse got way too much of whatever he was giving him in that first race at Colonial Downs when he took a 20 length lead or whatever it was. He was a nice horse in TX before the IEAH purchase but that one must really love the "juice" that they are drinking in the Dutrow barn.

This show is going to be ridiculous, this Jerry guy just accused everyone and their mother as cheaters, including Allen Jerkens. Steve's phone line probably is looking like mine in college.

I have NO doubt at all that Dutrow is a cheater.

Really?

How would you assess the two trainers of this horse? By your definition, the second trainer is most likely a cheater when they jumped the horse up 20 points after one race ! :

Beyers: 41-67-44-60-70 - new trainer - 64-84-91-86-85
