As others stated, there are obviously ways around this. A trainer could borrow a cell phone. And in terms of getting paid, if a trainer was paid by cash instead of by check and if he didn't put the money in the bank, he might get away with it.

He violated the terms of a 60 day suspension (down from an original 120 days), and they only gave him 14 days, which he then used to take a vacation with Frankel in Brazil. He essentially laughed at them.

No, it's the folks at the NYSRWB who are political hacks and have no idea the impact that their leniency is having on the industry that they are supposed to regulate.

Dont you think the high dollar lawyers had any influence on the hacks? I have seen that lawyers in this business usually cause uncontrollable shaking among our commissioners

It's easy to intimidate someone who has no idea what he or she is doing, and sad to say, that's the problem with most of these political appointees.

And Contessa defended him on ATR.

I guess that might make Contessa a "jerk-off."

Well, I would defend Rose as well, and I'm clearly a jerk-off, so if the shoe fits......

Maybe I was misreading Revidere's post, but it read as if Contessa defended Dutrow on ATR after the NYSRWB slapped Dutrow on the wrist for violating the terms of his suspension.

I agree that Rose's suspension is probably too harsh.

Now I'm really confused.....did Contessa actually defend Dutrow?

Yes. He basically said you cannot hold a trainer responsible for all the activity that goes on in his barn. A regular pity party.

Don't know, but that suspension would have been about 18 months ago. I'm sure he wouldn't be defending him now.
