What Dutrow is really saying is that the rules mean absolutely nothing to him as he thinks any rider in a race that also rides for him should always be thinking about the best interest of Dutrow's runner(s) and not his own. There's something the stewards SHOULD ( but won't ) find very interesting.
Sometimes it helps to think about all the implications of what you say. I doubt that Dutrow really meant to imply the above, per se, but it is what he is saying....at least tangentally.
Dutrow should have left out his relationship with Prado, and pointed out ( accurately ) that Riley Tucker seemed to intentionally put him in tight. The fact that he doesn't like it because Edgar rides for him implies something very different.

It's funny that you mention that, of all the things that Dutrow has done in the past, that's the only one that really irked me (and I think I'm in the minority on here that thinks Dutrow is actually a good horseman and not
all of his success is due to illicit activity). Perhaps it's linked to my fandom of Commentator and utter distaste for Saint Liam, but if he was "so confident in his horse" like he always said he was in SL, what was the need to run not one but TWO rabbits???
