Dutrow now trains....

[Monarchos1]

Did Robbins remove all of his horses from McPeek's barn or just this one? Rumor has it that he walked the horse over to Dutrow himself.

Good thing he got him away from that no-talent hack McPeek.

He should improve off that Holy Bull effort next time out.

Sure will.
Kentucky has the most liberal drug rules of any venue.

They are not even testing for steroids at Gulfstream until April/May.
I bet McP will rarely race in NY.

This is fiction. Of course facts will get in the way of your misguided "drug" theories.

Since you know it all...set me straight. Exactly what drugs does KY test for...all horses in all races or spot check? And exactly what meds are legal on race day in KY? And when did these new rules take effect?

As for Gulfstream, I posted what I read in the trades. Since you know differently...please explain.

No track or jurisdiction tests all horses in all races. The raceday rules in KY are virtually the same as the other major racing jurisdictions. These rules took effect 2 years ago. I know that there aren't that many outlets for horseracing information but the trades are fairly worthless.

Lasix and One Adjunct Bleeder Med.

I heard through the grape vines of the backstretch that the owner was at the barn the next day were there was no sign of McPeek (he was on his way to Tampa) The owner tried to call him numerous times and no answer and no call back. Last call & Voice mail went something along the lines of him wanting to talk to the trainer of a potential derby horse the day after the horse runs so he went and found a trainer that will answer his phone. Again not confirmed but what is being said.

Figures. I'm not impressed by McP. Unlike some, I don't think he is "any angel either" and he is I'm sure, arrogant to boot.

Starlight Stables removed both Harlan's Holiday and Repent from McP after they won and sent them to Pletcher. If I recall, they were both injured. Same with Sarava...owner moved him to Baffert after he won the Belmont at 70-1 and he was injured as well.

Probably was Helen Pitts who did most of the "heavy lifting" for McP.

Though I am probably the last person in the world who anyone would think would stick up for McPeek , I am amazed by how many people give credit to Helen Pitts for McPeeks success despite the fact he has been far more successful since she went on her own.
