This is one of the stupidest defenses I have heard yet.

Acting as though Dutrow is being singled out is laughable. As Steve posted earlier in the thread, if you can afford to hire a competent lawyer to just keep fighting and fighting via the legal system eventually the states tire of the continued legal battles and settle. That doesn't mean he should be allowed to keep his license, just the states really don't care about horseracing enough.

And if your chosen field of profession requires a license than you should be forced to adhere to the rules in order to keep your license.

If a Doctor continually violates the rules, they lose their license.


You acting as though 64 violations, speeding tickets or otherwise, is no big deal is telling

Shouldnt you consider Dutrow has had thousands of starters in 25 years of training. 2.5 violations a year should disqualify a man from earning a living? Until you set up rules that call for the death penalty if broken you have have to stay consisent or face major legal battles that you cant win.

This is a pathetic argument. 25 years of training? Try about 12. Most of those other years he had 1 or 2 horses.

2.5 violations a year? Are you serious? You think that is an acceptable number?

The problem with this business is that no one has been willing to throw guys who refuse to follow the rules out. No other sport would ever allow such blatant rules violations to keep continuing. If he was a NCAA football coach he would have been fired long ago and no one would be crying about his rights. He makes Barry Bonds and Roger Clemons look like good citizens.

Someone has to be first. Dutrow has earned it.
