If you're not a horse then maybe you're a rabbit

On the other hand, he didn't break any rules...it's just that the rules themselves are broken.

I agree, I don't fault Dutrow one bit for what he did in that race, pretty smart if you ask me. I would do the same damn thing...

Don't you get it yet Scav?
There is a sector out there that feels if a guy wears suits every day and speaks with great respect and dignity to the press that he is a "fine horseman" and is above the notion of anything wrong.
But if you don't follow those rules, and aren't real good at tossing trainerspeak bull**** at the media, and sucking up to them, then you aren't a horseman. You are just a lucky guy who is cheating.
Thats how it works out there.
I'd love to show you the list of guys I think have cheated in the last ten years, and all of them have suits on and speak trainerspeak very well. How do you think they avoided getting accused by the media?
If you don't do that, you are basically annointed as the Devil walking on earth.

I'd love to say this doesn't bother me as a Bernardini fan, but I'd be lying, because I didn't like how anxious he was for the first quarter-mile or so of The Travers.

With that said, it could've just been a reaction to High Cotton and Bluegrass Cat pinballing him in the first 100 yards.

I still think Mr. Deen rolls by open lengths, just because he's the best dirt horse in the world and he's rated successfully before, but this worries me a tad.

I get it, when I pick a trainer, I want my guy to be wearing boats, have some dirt on his chin and hate suits, he better like to party too because I will be like the guy that owned Major Rhythm, half of Arlington drank for free when he won the Stars and Stripes
