This was one of the worst pieces of trash articles I've ever read. What does Dutrow's personality have to do with how good Big Brown is? That's just silly. How he's standing and his posture and his facial expressions? Are u kidding me? I thought this part was especially stupid:
We know you didn't yet know about poor Eight Belles' breakdown, but your antics blurred the line between celebration and inappropriate.
Well, if you know he didn't know about EB, how could he have possibly been inappropriate? That doesn't make sense. If you take out the fact that he didn't know, then you are left with a man that has been as far down as you can get in the sport celebrating the fact that he's now reached the top. How would you react to that?
So what if he's overconfident? I wish more trainers were like him. I'd much rather hear him say the things he says about his horse and what he thinks about his chances and be honest about it than have a trainer of a 1/5 shot saying how it's really a tough race and he'll have to be at his best to win and talking up the competition as if he's going out to face 12 Spectacular Bids. That gets boring and tired after awhile. Dutrow is refreshing for me. The more press he gets, the more I like him.
