Jess Jackson on the Dutrow stupidity:

http://www.drf.com/news/article/97038.html

Jackson said possible races following the Woodward could depend on "who gives us the best argument on where we should be," a hint that he will accept bids from racetracks seeking a box-office star. As for a match-up with Big Brown, this year's Kentucky Derby winner, Jackson said if a track could arrange a showdown in a real race, "not a match race," that's "something that might influence us."

"They're both great horses," said Jackson, who said trainer Rick Dutrow's post-Haskell comments denigrating Curlin were "bad for racing" and "unethical."

On Monday, the day after Big Brown won the Haskell, Dutrow said, "I don't know why people think Curlin is such a good horse. We're way better than Curlin."

"To run down another man's horse demeans the industry," Jackson said. "I would like them to meet, for the industry and the fans."

Well well well, it was true after all. Not made up. I cant believe Dutrow would ever say such things.

No one said it was made up. The running gag I was facetiously talking about was the dozen different people posting the quote as if it hadn't been discussed on the board already.
