so how many times has Richard Dutrow Jr been suspended ?
 

I do not know. It's a fair question. Anyone know ?

For medication, claiming violations, misidentifying horses or all of the above?

funny i laughed

You forgot multiple supsensions for failing marijuana tests in NY.

Nothing wrong with that..

don't forget the suspensions for not following terms of suspensions.

I'd say the over/under is 112. A few for bad checks in MD, maybe a couple for exceedingthe speed limit at Laurel with that Firebird he had back in 1976, and then others. Then throw in the one he got for being associated with a funky claim last year - wow that was a big one that guys at Delpark do all the time....

gotta be more than that, since he's been in trouble in six states, as well as canada.

Here's a list of infractions, not all lead to suspension. Among them are such gems attempting to provide a false urine sample using a device hidden on his body (:eek: ) and many comments about "failure to do business properly" which usually are paperwork issues.

Better question...Have you had a drug test lately?

That list is pathetic. Although I think you can forgive the stuff he did when he was a young man, hes continually shown a blatant disregard for all racing authority. These are the kinds of guy who are successful in racing. Sad that this great game is littered with guys who couldnt get a job at Wendys

The list in the baltimore sun is ridiculous. Has anyone ever said to this guy the next strike and you get a lifetime ban.

This is a very dirty sport. How it got this bad is beyond me. This guy shouldn't be even allowed near racetracks.

You want to know why the sport is dying. Who would bet serious money on horses when this crap is going on? You might as well stick to poker, vegas, or sports. At least you know they aren't ripping you off, just stacking the deck against you.

another good one...check out the part about steroids.

I love this exchange when he talks about his monthly use of winstrol

"You'd have to ask the vet what the purpose of that is," he said. "I don't know what it does. I just like using it."

You like using it, but you don't know what it does? Why would you like using it if you don't know what it does? You must see something?

"No," he said. "I don't."

Do you see something from not using it?

"No," he said.

I'm not Dutrow's biggest fan, and certainly he doesn't need anyone defending him. I just have to ask for the sake of asking surely he is not the only one in the game that disregards the rules of racing is he? I like to compare it to the 100 yd dash in the Olympics, the guys in the final are probably doing it and the guys that got eliminated are probably a little too honest.

who among us hasn't tried the old hidden urine device trick. classic.

what do you say when you're caught? "what? what? thats not mine"

no one asks the guy who finishes last, Dutrow is getting his 15 minutes, it would be no different if Jeff Mullins had this horse.

to be fair to Dutrow, and Pat V as well, they did not have the "Wizzenater" back then.

I wonder who remembers who finished second to Marion Jones? I hear you!
